EuPRAXIA is the first European project devoted to create a particle accelerator research infrastructure based on plasma acceleration and laser and linac technology.
The project aims at developing plasma-based particle accelerator facilities, exploiting the intrinsic high gradient of up to 100 GV/m to improve the sustainability of particle accelerators. Furthermore, EuPRAXIA foresees to employ...
Neutral beam injectors are widely used to provide magnetically confined plasmas with additional heating, current drive and, in the case of medium size devices, torque. ITER will feature 2(3) heating neutral injectors (HNBs) delivering up to 16.7 MW of neutral H0/D0 with 870 keV/1 MeV energy. Neutralization of positive ion beams at 1 MeV is practically impossible so that the precursor of the...
High‑power laser driven inertial fusion energy (IFE) is entering a pivotal phase in Europe, building upon the HiPER+ flagship initiative. Coordinated experimental access to existing national and international facilities supports laser development and the study of laser–plasma interactions and high‑energy‑density (HED) physics for direct‑drive implosions, providing a platform for advancing...
