The International Coherent Amplification Initiative CERN Different communities joining their efforts towards the collaborative evaluation of the fiber CAN concept as one of the possible solutions for the next laser-based driver generation: • Laser & fibre communities • High energy physics community Final goal : definition, conception, design and realisation of such a laser Bridgelab Symposium for Laser Acceleration – Paris, January 14, 2011 – Matthieu Somekh
A first targeted step of 2 years • 1 proposal submitted to Brussels (Type of funding scheme: Coordination and support actions (Supporting)) • 18 participants from laser, fibre and high energy physics communities already behind the ICAN project • To be organized in 2012-2013 : • Conferences • Workshops The proposal has been Favorably Rated by the EU Bridgelab Symposium for Laser Acceleration – Paris, January 14, 2011 – Matthieu Somekh
Conclusions Low luminosity Paradigm: PeV particles, single shot could be produced by laser acceleration. High Luminosity Paradigme: Preliminary studies with CAN have demonstrated that the possibility to build an efficient laser driver for a GW, TeV, collider seems at this point possible . The ICAN program in 18 months hopefully will help us to confirm this opinion
