The INFN-Frascati National Laboratory (LNF) is nowadays running a 0.51 GeV electron-positron collider, DA NE, that also represents the synchrotron radiation source of the beamlines of the DA NE-Light facility. Not being DA NE dedicated to synchrotron radiations activities, the DA NE-Light facility can use it mainly in parasitic mode. Particle accelerators and high energy physics (HEP) have been and are the main core of the LNF research activity, but like other HEP international laboratories also LNF is now moving in the direction of developing a dedicated free electron laser (FEL) user facility, EuPRAXIA@SPARC_Lab, based on plasma acceleration. This new facility in the framework of the EuPRAXIA (European Plasma Research Accelerator with eXcellence in Applications) EU project should produce FEL radiation beams for a wide range of applications using a smaller accelerator compared to actual radio frequency-based accelerator sources dimensions.
意大利国家核物理研究所弗拉斯卡蒂国家实验室(LNF)目前正在运行一台0.51 GeV的电子 - 正电子对撞机DA NE,它也是DA NE - Light设施束线的同步辐射源。由于DA NE并非专门用于同步辐射活动,DA NE - Light设施主要以寄生模式使用它。粒子加速器和高能物理(HEP)一直是LNF研究活动的主要核心,但与其他HEP国际实验室一样,LNF现在也在朝着基于等离子体加速开发专用自由电子激光(FEL)用户设施EuPRAXIA@SPARC_Lab的方向发展。在EuPRAXIA(欧洲具有卓越应用的等离子体研究加速器)欧盟项目框架内的这个新设施,与实际基于射频的加速器源尺寸相比,应使用较小的加速器产生用于广泛应用的FEL辐射束。
