Abstract This Technical Design Report presents a detailed description of all aspects the LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine high-quality and high-energy electron beam European with high-intensity laser, to explore uncharted terrain strong-field quantum electrodynamics characterised by both high energy intensity, reaching Schwinger field beyond. The further implications for search physics beyond Standard Model are also discussed.

A novel scheme for the focusing of high-energy leptons in future linear colliders was proposed 2001 [P. Raimondi and A. Seryi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3779 (2001)]. This has many advantageous properties over previously studied schemes, including being significantly shorter a given energy having better bandwidth. Experimental results from ATF2 accelerator at KEK are presented that validate operating principle such by demonstrating demagnification 1.3 GeV electron beam down to below 65 nm height...

Dielectric Assist Accelerating (DAA) structures based on ultralow-loss ceramic are being studied as an alternative to conventional disk-loaded copper cavities. This accelerating structure consists of dielectric disks with irises arranged periodically in metallic working under the TM 02 - π mode. In this paper, numerical design S-band DAA for low beta particles, such protons or carbon ions used Hadrontherapy treatments, is shown. Four materials different permittivity and loss tangent well...
