November 2011
Foton, s.r.o., became a full partner of the international network - LA3NET.
Official project introduction
The exploitation of LAsers for Applications at Accelerator facilities for ion beam generation,
acceleration and diagnostics is the goal of the new NETwork (LA3NET) within the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training
Network (ITN) scheme, coordinated by the University of Liverpool.

The exploitation of LAsers for Applications at Accelerator facilities for ion beam generation,
acceleration and diagnostics is the goal of the new NETwork (LA3NET) within the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training
Network (ITN) scheme, coordinated by the University of Liverpool.
Lasers have become increasingly important for the successful operation and continuous optimization of particle accelerators: Laser-based
particle sources are well suited for delivering the highest quality ion and electron beams, laser acceleration has demonstrated unprecedented
accelerating gradients and might be an alternative for conventional particle accelerators in the future, and without laser-based beam diagnostics
it would not be possible to unravel the characteristics of many complex particle beams.
The LA3-NET consortium proposes to develop laser applications for particle accelerators within an initial training network.
The network brings together research centers, universities, and industry partners to jointly train the next generation of researchers.
The partners aim at developing long term collaboration and links between the involved teams across sectors and disciplinary boundaries and
to thus help defining improved research and training standards in this multi-faceted field.
