Research infrastructures
Advanced European Infrastructures for Detectors at Accelerators The AIDA project addresses the upgrade, improvement and integration of key research infrastructures in Europe, developing advanced detector technologies for future particle accelerators, as well as transnational access to test beams and irradiations facilities. The project concentrates on four areas of detector development (sLHC, Linear Colliders, neutrino facilities and Super-B factories), with an emphasis on activities and infrastructures common to all four areas.

Cluster of Research Infrastructures for Synergies in Physics CRISP is creating synergies and developing common solutions for an initial group of eleven ESFRI-PPs (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure preparatory phase) projects in the field of Physics, Astronomy, and Analytical Facilities. Its ultimate aim is to supply the best service to the rapidly growing and largely diversified user community, and to ensure that the large investments made at the national and international levels result in significant progress in science. The eleven projects are ESRFUP, FAIR, ILL 20/20, SLHC, SPIRAL2, ESS, XFEL, ELI, EuroFEL, ILC-HiGrade, and SKA. Website: http://www.crisp-fp7.eu/ |

International Coherent Amplification Network This project studies a novel laser concept for High Energy Particle acceleration, known as CAN for Coherent Amplification Network that would guarantee high peak power and high average powers while exhibiting high efficiency, >30%. The approach is based on fibre amplification. The proposed technical evaluation will be performed by combining the expertise, know-how, and knowledge of world leading experts coming from optical science, technology and industry, including femtosecond fibre optics, instrumental optics, astronomy, manufacturing, and marketing. |
