1 European Laser Electron controlled Acceleration in Plasmas to GeV energy range NEST ADVENTURE STREP Proposal Coordinator: Brigitte CROS (CNRS- LPGP) Approved January, 2006

2 History This NEST STREP Adventure project started in January 2005 First step approved in June 2005 Full project approved in January 2006 CPF signed by partners Contract signature??? Consortium Agreement : second draft First fund transfer expected in September 2006 EuroLEAP kick-off: general presentation, B Cros May 16th 06 2

3 Objectives To build a laser-plasma accelerator To accelerate electrons to the GeV energy range in a plasma wave. To test the issues related to the control of the properties of the electron beam Expected result: accelerated e-beam e with energy in the GeV range, energy spread of the order of 1%, pulse duration of the order of 100 fs, charge in the range 10 pc to 100 pc.
