The construction of an electron–positron collider'Higgs factory'has been stalled for a decade,
not because of feasibility but because of the cost of conventional radio-frequency (RF) …

Particle-in-cell simulations are among the most essential tools for the modeling and
optimization of laser-plasma accelerators, since they reproduce the physics from first …

Abstract PETRA III at DESY is one of the brightest synchrotron radiation sources worldwide.
It serves a broad international multidisciplinary user community from academia to industry at …

Electron acceleration by laser-plasma techniques is approaching maturity and is getting
ready for the construction of particle accelerators with dedicated applications. We present a …

Laser-plasma accelerators outperform current radio frequency technology in acceleration
strength by orders of magnitude. Yet, enabling them to deliver competitive beam quality for …

The PETRA IV project for upgrading the 2.3 km 6 GeV PETRA III storage ring to a diffraction-
limited synchrotron radiation source is nearing the end of its detailed technical design …

The laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) with external injection requires high-quality, ultra-
short electron bunches, which can be produced by using a photocathode injector based on …

Laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) have become one of the frontiers of the accelerator
community, mainly because they promise orders of magnitude improvement in the …

We propose a novel scheme for controlling the injection of a high-quality electron bunch into
a channel-guided laser plasma accelerator. This all-optical technique, constricted …

Abstract The Southern Advanced Photon Source (SAPS) is a proposed fourth-generation
diffraction-limited storage ring (DLSR) designed with a modified hybrid multibend achromat …
