Abstract

Abstract Accelerator science and technology is one of a key enablers of the developments in the particle physics, photon physics, electronics and photonics, also applications in medicine and industry. The paper presents a digest of the research results in accelerators in Europe, shown during the third annual meeting of the EuCARD - European Coordination of Accelerator Research and Development. EuCARD concerns building of research infrastructure, including advanced photonic and electronic systems for servicing large high energy physics experiments. There are debated a few basic groups of such systems like: measurement - control networks of large extent, multichannel systems for metrological data acquisition, precision photonic networks for reference time distribution.

Highlights

  • T HE EUCARD 2012 ANNUAL CONFERENCE on the development of the accelerator research infrastructure in Europe was held in Warsaw on 24–27 April

  • The plasma cavity is considered as an undulator and the light generation is based on betatron emission – harmonic oscillator in the transverse direction

  • The period of EuCARD-2 2013–2017 is marked with many strategic facts: the existing accelerators will be pushed to their extreme performance like LHC; new accelerators enter final design and/or construction phase like XFEL, FAIR, ESS, SuperB, MYRRHA; strategic decisions will be taken for the future accelerators like CLIC, ILC, HE-LHC, LHeC and Neutrinos

Summary

INTRODUCTION

T HE EUCARD 2012 ANNUAL CONFERENCE on the development of the accelerator research infrastructure in Europe was held in Warsaw on 24–27 April. The venue of the meeting was the Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Electronics and Information Technologies. Around 100 accelerator researchers participated and 60 invited papers were presented. The conference covered the following subjects: new materials for building accelerators, research infrastructure for particle measurements, muon electronics, upgrade of existing accelerators, HL-LHC, HE-LHC, new infrastructure of large scale, experiments of new physics, plasma wake field and laser accelerators. The aim of the conference was to summarize annual achievements of the European FP7 project co-financed by the EU [1]–[60]
