EuPRAXIA (EUP)

EuPRAXIA targets the realization of a "EUROPEAN PLASMA RESEARCH ACCELERATOR WITH EXCELLENCE IN APPLICATIONS". The major objective of the original EuPRAXIA design study was the preparation of a conceptual design report for the worldwide first plasma-based accelerator at 5 GeV with industrial beam quality and two user areas. This report is now available via the project website.
