Collaboration Partners
PALLAS is a research and development project located at IJClab on the campus of the université Paris-Saclay. The PALLAS group is a collaboration including IJClab, LLR, and LP2IB.
The PALLAS project started in 2025, a collaboration with Amplitude on high-intensity laser stabilisation and automation control for a laser-driven plasma accelerator.
Funding
The LASERIX laser facility is supported by the University since 2009.
PIA3-PACIFICS – CEA/CNRS – axe 3 – experimental laser-plasma accelerator test facility
IN2P3 master project PALLAS
PACRI Plasma Accelerator systems for Compact Research Infrastructures, is a EU-funded project to develop key plasma accelerator technologies for Europe’s future research infrastructures, such as EuPRAXIA and ELI Beamlines.
The EPITA project aims to develop innovative technologies to improve the performance and sustainability of particle accelerators and facilities in close cooperation with industry. PALLAS project is involved in the WP5 for laser-driven acceleration development.
In addition, the project benefits from various CPER investments in high-intensity laser equipment and the renovation of the radiation safety experimental area.
European project EUPRAXIA
EuPRAXIA is the first European project to develop a dedicated particle accelerator research infrastructure based on novel plasma acceleration concepts and laser technology. EuPRAXIA is one of the projects on the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) Roadmap of 2021.
The PALLAS project is involved in the EUPRAXIA-PP and the preparatory phase of the technical design report for the laser-driven plasma accelerator site.
The PALLAS project is involved in the PACRI (Grant Agreement 101188004) project in the development of high-rep-rate plasma modules and optimisation of High repetition rate laser system architecture for laser-driven accelerators
