MAIN OBJECTIVES

 

AccNet is an integrated network that will coordinate the activities of the European accelerator communities in order to guide significant upgrades of European research accelerator infrastructures and to prepare the way for new infrastructures, within a time scale of four years. In particular AccNet aims at realizing the full potential of the future hadron collider LHC, at optimizing the upgrades of other high-energy hadron and electron facilities (GSI/FAIR, PSI, LHC injector complex, FLASH, CTF3), at advancing novel extremely bright light sources (XFEL), and at laying the foundation for a future linear collider (ILC or CLIC).

 

AccNet includes two distinct networks as tasks. They aim at providing a platform for information exchange and collaboration between different joint research activities and the various presently separated communities (e.g. proton and electron accelerators; magnet designers and collimation experts; FLASH upgrade, XFEL, CLIC and ILC technology; DAΦNE and LHC upgrade; European industry, European universities and laboratories).

 

To meet these goals, the tasks will organize annual workshops and topical mini-workshops, participate to related events in other projects or context, support exchange of experts, propose and follow-up beam experiment results to improve the knowledge and involve largely students and fellows. The results will be disseminated by journal publications and by seminars at partner institutes, conferences, and European universities, and via web documentation, e.g. web databases. The participation shall be largely open inside and outside the consortium.
