The electron-positron collider DAPhiNE, the Italian Phi factory, has been recently upgraded in order to implement an innovative collision scheme based on large crossing angle, small beam sizes at point, and compensation of beam-beam interaction by means sextupole pairs creating a "crab-waist" configuration region. Experimental tests novel exhibited increase factor 3 peak luminosity with respect performances reached before upgrade. In this Letter we present new scheme, discuss its advantages,...
Abstract This report presents the conceptual design of a new European research infrastructure EuPRAXIA. The concept has been established over last four years in unique collaboration 41 laboratories within Horizon 2020 study funded by Union. EuPRAXIA is first project that develops dedicated particle accelerator based on novel plasma acceleration concepts and laser technology. It focuses development electron accelerators underlying technologies, their user communities, exploitation existing...
On the wake of results obtained so far at SPARC_LAB test-facility Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (Italy), we are currently investigating possibility to design and build a new multi-disciplinary user-facility, equipped with soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) driven by ∼1 GeV high brightness linac based on plasma accelerator modules. This study is performed in synergy EuPRAXIA study. In this paper report about recent progresses going facility.
The breakthrough provided by plasma-based accelerators enabled unprecedented accelerating fields boosting electron beams to gigaelectronvolt energies within a few centimeters [1-4]. This, in turn, allows the realization of ultracompact light sources based on free-electron lasers (FELs) [5], as demonstrated two pioneering experiments that reported observation self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) driven plasma-accelerated [6,7]. However, lack stability and reproducibility due intrinsic...
Quantum Sensing is a rapidly expanding research field that finds one of its applications in Fundamental Physics, as the search for Dark Matter. Devices based on superconducting qubits have already been successfully applied detecting few-GHz single photons via Non-Demolition measurement (QND). This technique allows us to perform repeatable measurements, bringing remarkable sensitivity improvements and dark count rate suppression experiments high-precision microwave photon detection, such...
This report details the present status of Accelerator design for SuperB Project. It is one four separate progress reports that, taken collectively, describe made on Project since publication Conceptual Design Report in 2007 and Proceedings Workshop VI Valencia 2008.
Axions detection requires the ultimate sensitivity down to single-photon limit. In microwave region, this corresponds energies in yJ range. This extreme has be combined with an extremely low dark-count rate since probability of axions conversion into photons is supposed very low. To face complicated task, we followed two promising approaches that both rely on use superconducting devices based Josephson effect. The first one a single junction (JJ) as switching detector (i.e., exploiting...
The DAΦNE collider has been recently upgraded in order to implement a new collision scheme based on large Piwinski angle and cancellation of the synchro-betatron resonances by means electromagnetic sextupoles (Crab-Waist compensation). novel approach proved be effective improving beam-beam interaction luminosity. results measurements taken during commissioning as well perspectives for SIDDHARTA run are presented discussed.
NESCOFI@BTF is a 3-y project (2011–13) supported by the Scientific Commission 5 of INFN (Italy). The target development neutron spectrometers similar to Bonner spheres, in terms response energy interval and accuracy, but able determine spectrum only one exposure. These devices embed multiple (10 30) thermal detectors (TNDs) within single moderator. Two prototypes, called SPherical SPectrometer (SP2) cylindrical spectrometer (CYSP), have been set up. Whilst SP2 has spherical geometry nearly...
