INTERVIEW

THE FUTURE OF PARTICLE ACCELERATORS ALSO LIES IN PLASMA

Interview with Massimo Ferrario, spokesperson of EuAPS and SPARC_LAB, at Frascati National Laboratories

Among the topics discussed during the annual International Conference on Particle Accelerators (IPAC'23), held last May in Venice Lido, the state of research on plasma accelerators certainly deserves attention: not only for the central role played by Italy, but also for the new and promising scenarios that the advent of this technology seems to shape. A future characterized by the opportunities deriving from easier access to accelerator machines and from an increasingly widespread use of these instruments in different fields. The possibility of realizing a new generation of more compact and cheaper light sources and accelerators, capable of satisfying both the needs of high-energy physics and those of the world of applied research or manufacturing sectors, is in fact the reason for the strong interest in projects that are focusing internationally on the design and development of a plasma particle acceleration technology and its applications. Initiatives like EuPraxia were hence among the themes of IPAC'23 agenda. ...

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES AND SUPERCOMPUTING: INFN AT RIMINI WMF

Research meets innovation: on June 16 at Rimini Fiera, INFN will be at the international fair and festival on technological and digital innovation, Rimini We Make Future. Three INFN events are scheduled, all on the second day of the festival. The program of the festival, which ranges across different themes, includes a panel focused on the Einstein Telescope, the new generation gravitational wave observatory, and another one about the technology transfer strategies implemented by different research institutions. ...
