EuPRAXIA - A European Concept for an Innovative Future Accelerator

16 Oct 2019, 12:30 → 18 Oct 2019, 12:00 Europe/Berlin

Auditorium CSSB Building (Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron - DESY)

Arnd Specka (CNRS/IN2P3 - Ecole Polytechnique), Ralph Assmann (DESY)

Final Yearly Meeting

The EuPRAXIA Consortium has prepared a conceptual design for the world’s first multi-GeV plasma-based accelerator with industrial beam quality and dedicated user areas. The project bridges the gap between successful proof-of-principle experiments and ground-breaking, ultra-compact accelerators. 

With a smaller size and improved efficiency, plasma-based technologies have the potential to revolutionize the world of particle accelerators multiplying their applications in medicine, industry and fundamental science. EuPRAXIA brings together a consortium of 16 research institutions from five EU member states. The project, coordinated by DESY, is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme. EuPRAXIA has been joined by 24 associated partners.

During the final meeting we will celebrate the completion of the Conceptual Design Report.

Registration deadline: 30th September 2019
