Experimental Ideas for Novel FEL Facilities Based on Plasma Acceleration

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to user applications of new-generation high-brilliance radiation sources. It was influenced by the "EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB” User Workshop held in Frascati on 14-15 October 2021, an event dedicated to the new FEL facility based on plasma acceleration. EuPRAXIA is the first European project that aims to develop a dedicated particle accelerator research infrastructure based on novel plasma acceleration concepts and laser technology (http://www.eupraxia-project.eu/).

Contributions to the Special Issue We, therefore, invite you to contribute research focused on targeting soft X-rays, VUV and XUV radiation ranges and the predicted properties of the EUPRAXIA FEL facility. Manuscripts that combine high-power laser and HHG sources in multidimensional spectroscopy investigations will also be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Condensed Matter is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
