Laser-driven beamlines: a novel approach towards particle acceleration

The CRISP Lasers activity studied laser induced particle sources as the next generation of particle accelerators.

Introducing CRISP Accelerator Topic for Synergies in Physics

The EU funded CRISP project (The Cluster of Research Infrastructures for Synergies in Physics) started on 1st October 2011 and runs for 3 years.

Improved ion sources and beam diagnostics for FAIR and SPIRAL2

Under the CRISP project framework, WP3 aims at developing improved ion sources and beam diagnostics  for SPIRAL2 atGANIL and FAIR Proton LINAC at GSI.

Synergies for testing Superconducting RF cavities

Within the 36 month period of the CRISP project the main objective of WP4  is to upgrade and harmonize the SRF Accelerator Structures for ESS, ILC, LHC upgrade and the European XFEL.

Development of a Fast Ramped Superconducting Dipole Magnet

Fast ramped magnets are an essential component of heavy-ion synchrotrons. Future developments ask for higher rigidity of the beams leading to stronger magnetic fields of the magnets and therefore to superconductivity.
