The ATHENA Project – Accelerator
Technology HElmholtz iNfrAstructure
Proposal for Helmholtz Strategic
Investment Project
Project Outline on Slides
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). New ideas are studied, translated into technically innovative facilities and being made accessible to users from many fields of science, engineering, medicine and industry. The superconducting RF accelerator technology is a prime example of the success and the importance of such strategic investments for German science. Our goal: A new generation of very compact, cost- effective accelerators for present and new users! SEITE 2

Plasma Accelerators as Future Technology
• Successful accelerator
technologies approach
physical and practical limits
à advances slow down.
• Plasma accelerators
produce the same energy
gain as conventional
accelerators in 1/1000
of acceleration length.
• The required high power
lasers become more and more compact. Rapid
laser development and progress!
• Potential for ultra-compact accelerators of electrons, protons and ions!
Potential for reduced cost.
• Challenge: Usability – Stability – Quality. Helmholtz centers have
decades of experience on these challenges!
