Particle Accelerators as Drivers of Excellence
Today about 30,000 particle accelerators are operated worldwide for usage in science, health and industry. Important applications include :
• Discovery of new elementary particles and fundamental forces.
• Generation of short flashes of light for research on bacteria, viruses, photosynthesis, fast processes, …
• Destruction of tumor cells in patients
• Inspection of materials
Accelerators supported many discoveries and inventions which were often rewarded with nobel prizes.
Accelerators help saving lifes.
SEITE 8
Dozens of nobel prizes attributed to work including acce-lerator-generated results, two nobel prizes in accelerator science.

• What comes next?
• Where will accelerators be in 10 years?
• Where will accelerators be in 80 years?
• What will be the new ideas and technologies that make future accelerators possible?
But questions arise…

Particle Accelerators in Helmholtz The centers in the Helmholtz association design, build and operate the large and modern particle accelerators in Germany.
Tens of thousands of users rely in their work on the outstanding and internationally leading quality of the generated particle beams, the emitted light and radiation.
The Helmholtz centers pursue strategic accelerator research and development (ARD).
Superconducting RF accelerator technology is a prime example of the success and the importance of such strategic investments for German science.

The Choice of the Driver for Plasma Wakefields
> The plasma wakefields can be excited by several means:
Short high power many places, soon DESY
Short SLAC, BNL, Frascati and soon DESY
Short (and long) AWAKE experiment at CERN
> Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
> All must be explored to propose optimal solution for a given project (can also be combination of different technologies).

Connected Centers and Representatives
Assessment from POF3 Evaluation (3/2014): In particular, it is possible to move from proof-of-principle acceleration experiments to the development of new accelerator designs exploiting the plasma acceleration concept. The concept of a Distributed accelerator Test Facility (DTF) for ARD is welcomed. The Panel takes note of the concept of the “Distributed accelerator Test Facility” as a means to create new synergy among the stakeholders, and of optimal use of their resources and expertise. A full proposal should be developed in the short term.

SEITE 87
Principle Plasma Acceleration Ions & Protons
• generating of pre-plasma
• electron heating • hot electrons
penetrate target foil • exit on backside
• generation of electric field on backside
• field strength: some MV/µm
• field ionization of a thin layer
• acceleration of the ionized atoms
• free expansion of ions and electrons
Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) method
