ACRONYM: DELPHI
PROJECT TYPE: Preparation and realization of experiments at ELI-NP
DURATION: 11th JULY 2024 – 31st MARCH 2027 (33 months)

OBIECTIVELE PROIECTULUI
O1. Design of an optimized experimental setup suitable to measure the accelerated e- beams in the GeV range and allow photon emission diagnostic.
O2. Numerical optimization of the DLA acceleration using realistic laser and new target parameters.
O3. Design of novel X-ray and gamma ray spectrometers Within this objective we aim to design and build three photons diagnostics, each tuned for a specific energy band of the generated photon spectrum.
O4. Experimental campaign using multi-PW laser beams to accelerate electrons to high energies and measure the photon emission from the target in the new DLA scheme.
O5. To develop a platform for users to be able to study and use the DLA through the novel scheme.
