This report presents the conceptual design of a new European research infrastructure
EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over the last four years in a unique …

Reaching high energies with a plasma-wakefield accelerator may require use of multiple
stages. This coupling of beams from one stage to another can be nontrivial due to a …

The European Particle Physics Strategy Update (EPPSU) process takes a bottom-up
approach, whereby the community is first invited to submit proposals (also called inputs) for …

Plasma-based accelerators use the strong electromagnetic fields that can be supported by
plasmas to accelerate charged particles to high energies. Accelerating field structures in …

Radio-frequency particle accelerators are engines of discovery, powering high-energy
physics and photon science, but are also large and expensive due to their limited …

This article first gives the authors' perspectives on how the field of plasma-based
acceleration (PBA) developed and how the current experiments, theory, and simulations are …

The FLASHForward experimental facility is a high-performance test-bed for precision
plasma wakefield research, aiming to accelerate high-quality electron beams to GeV-levels …

Plasma-based technology promises a tremendous reduction in size of accelerators used for
research, medical, and industrial applications, making it possible to develop tabletop …

We present a laser-ionized, beam-driven, passive thin plasma lens that operates in the
nonlinear blowout regime. This thin plasma lens provides axisymmetric focusing for …

Emittance is a beam quality that is vital for many future applications of advanced
accelerators, such as compact free-electron lasers and linear colliders. In this paper, we …
