Description
The Scottish Centre for the Applications of Plasma-based Accelerators (SCAPA) is a state-of-the art research centre dedicated in providing high energy particle beams and next-generation radiation sources for users across all scientific and engineering disciplines. SCAPA, an £8M+ worth of investment of University of Strathclyde and SUPA (Scottish Universities Physics Alliance), houses two high-power (TW level) laser systems and four radiation beamlines. The centre aims to promote collaboration between academia and industry and to provide an avenue for world-class long term research projects. In this talk, I will give an overview of the facility and showcase the capabilities and recent results of each beamline. I will also go through the research and development opportunities for the upcoming new projects of SCAPA.
