Description
The unique combination of ultra-relativistic particle beams and laser technology at CERN opens new frontiers in the generation of extreme light, spanning photon energies from the extreme ultraviolet to the γ-ray regime. This seminar presents recent progress and future prospects for laser-beam interaction experiments within the CERN accelerator complex, focusing on two flagship initiatives: the Gamma Factory proof-of-principle experiment at the Super Proton Synchrotron and a compact inverse Compton scattering (ICS) X-ray source under construction at the CLEAR facility.
