Proposta di progetto bandiera INFN: LINACs ad alta brillanza per la fisica fondamentale ed applicata (IRIDE)

by M.Ferrario, R. Faccini, P.Valente

Monday 4 Feb 2013, 14:00 → 16:00 Europe/Rome

Aula Conversi (Dipartimento di Fisica - Ed. G. Marconi)

We describe in this talk a preliminary proposal of a new large infrastructure for fundamental and applied physics research. Conceived as an innovative and evolutionary tool also for multi-disciplinary investigations in a wide field of scientific, technological and industrial applications, it will be a high intensity “particle beams factory”, based on a combination of a high duty cycle radio-frequency superconducting electron linac (SC RF LINAC) and of a high energy lasers. It will be able to produce a high flux of electrons, photons (from infrared to gamma-rays), neutrons, protons and eventually positrons, that will be available for a wide international scientific community interested to take profit of the most worldwide advanced particle and radiation sources. The realization of a superconducting linac at the Tor Vergata site in close proximity to the LNF laboratories will allow INFN to consolidate a strong scientific, technological and industrial role in a competing international context both to deploy a national multi-purpose facility along the scientific applications discussed in this talk, and to prepare a strong role for the contribution to possible future large international HEP projects as the International Linear Collider. Il progetto e' nella fase di raccolta di idee e di formazione della comunita' che scrivera' il CDR (atteso entro l'estate). Come punto di partenza per questo processo e' previsto un kick-off meeting entro febbraio.
