WORK PACKAGES

The organizational work packages (WP) drive ahead with developing and finalizing legal, financial, organisational and other agreements during the preparatory phase. Detailed technical implementation plans and structures will be worked out in the technical work packages.

WP 1

Coordination & Project Management

Pierluigi Campana (INFN)

Massimo Ferrario (INFN)

Supervise and coordinate EupRAXIA-PP work package tasks to their full completion.

WP 2

Dissemination & Public Relations

Carsten Welsch (INFN/University of Liverpool)

Susanna Bertelli (INFN)

Disseminate the content produced in EuPRAXIA-PP to audiences of interest.

WP 3

Organization & Rules

Arnd Specka (CNRS)
Andrea Ghigo (INFN)

Develop the organizational model of EuPRAXIA to ensure a sound and timely execution of tasks when the Researach Infrastructure will be operational.

WP 4

Financial, Legal Model & Economic Impact

Antonio Falone (INFN)

Develop the financial model of EuPRAXIA as a sustainable research infrastructure providing access to users.

Economically attractive alternative to RF -based accelerators

In the long term, EuPRAXIA aims to establish the scientific and technological foundations upon which a new market – and therefore, a new industry – for non-RF-based accelerators could emerge, characterized by a much shorter length and possibly a cost representing only a fraction of what RF-based accelerators cost.

Those new accelerators, because of their reduced cost and size, would clearly constitute an economically attractive alternative to RF-based accelerators
