1 ICAN-B International Coherent Amplifying Network Building the Case for a H2020 Future Emerging Technology Project Gérard Mourou

2 Building the Case for ICAN-FET OPEN The conclusion of our work-study conducted by the ICAN consortium formed by EP, FhG, CERN, ORC and 12 expert groups over 18 months showed that the concept ICAN is New Visionary and could profoundly impact science, engineering and society. This corresponds exactly to the main criteria of a H2020 FET-Open. So the time is ripe to submit a FET-open for next September.

3 Introduction Since its first demonstration in 1960, the laser has been mostly dealing with Atomic, Molecular and Plasma Physics, i.e, ev Physics. However, laser is capable of producing the highest peak power, PW conducive to the highest fields, pressures, temperatures and accelerations. In this sense it could be the lynch-pin of a new Nuclear and High Energy Particle Physics paradigm.
