  3. 12. Simulation and Feasibility Analysis of a Compact, Non-invasive Re-entrant Cavity based Bunch Charge Monitor
    Sruthy Chandran (University of Liverpool)
    06/10/2025, 11:00

    Accurate, non-invasive charge measurement is essential for high-precision beam experiments, especially at low bunch charge and low repetition rate. Interceptive devices such as Faraday cups and microchannel-plate detectors can suffer charge loss, which is a critical concern for low charge beams. This work presents a simulation-based feasibility study of a compact, material loaded re-entrant...

  4. 20. Superradiance in non-linear Thomson scattering
    Bhushan Thakur (Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon)
    06/10/2025, 11:30

    Plasma-based accelerators provide a compact and efficient means of generating ultra-relativistic particles [1], making them strong candidates for next-generation light sources. One of the most consolidated X-ray source configurations in plasma accelerators is based on nonlinear Thomson scattering [2]. Here, relativistic electrons from a plasma-based accelerator interact with a counter or...

  5. 18. Development of a Marx Generator Discharge Circuit for High-Current Plasma Capillary Discharges
    Romain Demitra (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)
    06/10/2025, 12:00

    In the context of plasma-based accelerators, one of the main advantages lies in their compactness and lower overall cost compared to conventional machines. Beyond acceleration, plasma can also be used to focus (plasma lens) and bend particle beams within compact structures such as discharge-based plasma capillaries.
    Beam bending in such devices requires a tailored capillary geometry and
    a...

  6. 21. Energy Bunching from Sub-Cycle Ionization Injection in Laser Wakefield Acceleration
    Flanish Ashley D Souza
    06/10/2025, 12:15

    Electron energy spectra featuring multiple quasi-monoenergetic peaks with uniform, narrow spacing are observed when a few-cycle (~9 fs), multi-terawatt laser pulse is used to drive laser wakefield acceleration in a helium–nitrogen gas mixture. This comb-like energy structure results from periodic ionization injection triggered by successive half-cycles of the laser electric field. Crucially,...

  8. 17. Laser-Driven Proton Therapy: Innovations in Beam Diagnostics
    Mrs Farhana Thesni Mada Parambil (University of Liverpool/ Cockcroft Institute)
    06/10/2025, 15:00

    Laser-driven accelerators are emerging as compact and potentially cost-effective alternatives to conventional cyclotrons and synchrotrons for proton therapy. Their ability to generate ultra-short, high-intensity pulses at extremely high dose rates creates opportunities for innovative treatment modalities such as FLASH radiotherapy. At the same time, the distinctive structure of laser-plasma...

  9. 15. Prospects of dielectric terahertz-driven accelerators in medicine.
    Andrés Leiva Genre
    06/10/2025, 15:15

    Throughout the last century, the field of medicine has greatly benefited from particle accelerator technologies. Thanks to the advances in accelerator science in the last decades, accelerators have become important tools in modern medicine. The most common uses of accelerators are oncological treatment, advanced imaging, isotope production, and sterilization. Although conventional accelerators...

    Alex Johannes Whitehead
    07/10/2025, 15:30

    The 100 TW DPSSL-OPCPA L2-DUHA laser system is under development at ELI-ERIC, with the goal of being the driver for the Laser Plasma Accelerator (LPA) of the LUIS-beamline, an incoherent Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) radiation setup under development at ELI-ERIC, aiming to produce the high-quality electron beam required for a LPA-based Free Electron Laser (FEL).

    The L2-DUHA broadband front-end...

  18. 19. Achieving Tight Synchronization in Plasma Wakefield Accelerators at EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB
    Xianghe Fang (LNF-INFN)
    07/10/2025, 15:45

    Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is the most promising candidate for next-generation compact accelerators. An efficient and reproducible operation of a plasma wakefield accelerator facility relies largely on a tight synchronization among all the accelerator sub-systems impacting the beam longitudinal phase-space and time-of-arrival. One of the big disturbances affecting the beam...
