EuPRAXIA – a compact, cost-efficient particle and radiation source
25TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE APPLICATION OF ACCELERATORS IN RESEARCH AND INDUSTRY
Plasma accelerators present one of the most suitable candidates for the development of more compact particle acceleration technologies, yet they still lag behind radiofrequency (RF)-based devices when it comes to beam quality, control, stability and power efficiency. The Horizon 2020-funded project EuPRAXIA ("European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications") aims to overcome the first three of these hurdles by developing a conceptual design for a first international user facility based on plasma acceleration. In this paper we report on the main features, simulation studies and potential applications of this future research infrastructure.
Status of the Horizon 2020 EuPRAXIA conceptual design study*
Journal of Physics: Conference Series
The Horizon 2020 project EuPRAXIA (European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications) is producing a conceptual design report for a highly compact and cost-effective European facility with multi-GeV electron beams accelerated using plasmas. EuPRAXIA will be set up as a distributed Open Innovation platform with two construction sites, one with a focus on beam-driven plasma acceleration (PWFA) and another site with a focus on laser-driven plasma acceleration (LWFA). User areas at both sites will provide access to free-electron laser pilot experiments, positron generation and acceleration, compact radiation sources, and test beams for high-energy physics detector development. Support centres in four different countries will complement the pan-European implementation of this infrastructure.

The Horizon 2020 Project EuPRAXIA ("European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence In Applications") is preparing a conceptual design report of a highly compact and cost-effective European facility with multi-GeV electron beams using plasma as the acceleration medium. The accelerator facility will be based on a laser and/or a beam driven plasma acceleration approach and will be used for photon science, high-energy physics (HEP)
The discovery of the Higgs boson is one of the most significant advances of particle physics in recent years. It led to the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 to Englert and Higgs for the theory explaining the origin of the particle mass. The Nobel Prize cannot conceal the fact that the results about the new particle have been achieved by the experimental physicists of the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, who are among the largest international collaboration of scientists in the world (2898 and 2932 physicists, respectively). This article is dedicated to the study of the organization and operation of the ATLAS and CMS international collaborations. The disparities between countries, structure of collaborative networks, physicists' cooperative vs. competitive preferences, and emerging properties of research work in large scientific collaborations are reviewed. Научные коллаборативные сети в физике элементарных частиц: социологическое исследование коллабораций ATLAS и CMS. Аннотация. Одним из наиболее значительных достижений в области физики элементарных частиц за последние годы стало открытие бозона Хиггса. Это привело к тому, что в 2013 году Нобелевскую премию по физике получили Энглерт и Хиггс за их теорию, объясняющую происхождение массы частиц. Однако Нобелевская премия не может скрыть тот факт, что результаты о новой частице были получены физиками-экспериментаторами коллабораций ATLAS и CMS, которые являются одними из крупнейших международных коллабораций ученых в мире (2898 и 2932 физика соответственно). Эта статья посвящена изучению организации и функционирования международных коллабораций ATLAS и CMS. В работе рассматриваются вопросы неравенства между странами, структуры научных коллаборативных сетей, кооперативных или конкурентных предпочтений физиков, а также новых свойств научно-исследовательской работы; возникающих в крупных научных коллаборациях. Ключевые слова. ATLAS, CMS, физика элементарных частиц, научные коллаборативные сети.
