First LWFA experiment carried out successfully in SCAPA
To be updated… We are working on it!
SCAPA Research Centre
The SCAPA research centre is a major initiative locates in Glasgow. Facilities include state-of-the-art laser laboratories, laser-driven plasma accelerators and radiation sources.
Source Provider
We use high intensity, femtosecond laser pulses as the driver for novel high brightness sources of high energy particle beams (electrons, protons, neutrons and light ions) and radiation pulses (THz, infra-red, X-rays and gamma rays).
Large Laser Systems
SCAPA is part of the ever expanding global infrastructure of large laser systems.
Facilities
Laser Facilities
We have three laser facilities in SCAPA and they are 350TW laser, 40TW laser and the kHz laser. These lasers provides fs laser pulses with power from 300GW to 350TW.
Facilities
Accelerator Beam Lines & X-Ray Source
In SCAPA, we provide accelerated beam lines (Monoenergetic electron beams, Proton and light ion beams) and X-Ray source (partially coherent betatron radiation ) based on our experiment platform.
Facilities
Experimental Area
The SCAPA consists of ~1200 m2 total area comprising shielded areas, laser labs, preparation labs and control area. There are 3 shielded areas (Bunker A, B & C) for a total of 5 accelerator beam lines and 300 m2 total working space.
Facilities
Infrastructure
SCAPA Beamlines has an engineering program which includes the following work packages: (a) control system, (b) beam transport, and (c) alignment, diagnostics, and performance.
Facilities
Labs & Workshop
SCAPA runs various laboratories and workshops to support lasers and experiments in conducting field-specific research. The laboratories are equipped with advanced tools for studying and handling various types of samples.
