WELCOME
A. Gallo, LNF Accelerator Division Head
LNF is born historically as
a HEP accelerator based
Lab for users from the
sub-atomic and nuclear
physics community
Electro-synchrotron, 1959
ADA, 1961
Particle accelerators have always been at the core of the INFN Frascati Labs

In the new century many accelerator centers needed to revise their mission, SLAC
and DESY as the major examples, moving from HEP to science based on state-of-
the-art radiation sources (both synchrotron and FEL) for a different, wider and more
articulated and interdisciplinary user community.
While in Frascati we are still in between this
transition, having the DAFNE collider still in
operation, the facility SPARC_Lab has given us the
opportunity to enter and in the field of advanced
study and applications of high brightness electron
beam.
We could run an FEL experiment (not for users)
and more recently to test experimentally plasma
wave acceleration in the particle-driven modality,
with extremely promising results.
In the same complex we also run the sub-PW laser
system FLAME for stand-alone experiments or in
combinations with the SPARC linac electrons.

The SPARC_Lab test faclity
High gradient X-band linac +
Plasma accelerating module
All this finally led to the EuPRAXIA@SPARC_Lab project proposal, where for the first time a user facility will be built
based on plasma acceleration, placing again our Lab in a pioneeristic position such as in the ADA era, at the beginning
of new history.

A. Gallo,
Wshop WELCOME
This is a very exciting period for the Lab, we have an extreme challenging enterprise ahead, but we can
feel the support of INFN, the energy and the engagement of our young scientists and the expectations
(but also the collaborative attitude) of our reference international scientific community.
In Conclusion:
And of course we are proud to serve again a community of users, which ultimately is the goal of our
effort. Serving a scientific community is in the DNA of our Lab, that’s why we are glad to welcome you in
this workshop and in the numerous following ones. Together with you we expect to focus and understand
better the potentialities of our future realization, and to have indications on how the design of this
instrument can be improved and tuned to produce beautiful and original physics in an efficient way.
WELCOME and have a nice fruitful meeting!
The Accelerator Division at LNF has been pivotal in advancing particle accelerators for sub-atomic and nuclear physics. Transitioning towards plasma acceleration, the EuPRAXIA@SPARC_Lab project marks a pioneering milestone. With a team of 100 individuals, the division's activities range from facility operations to international collaborations, shaping the future of accelerator science.
