The EUROLABS project offers transnational access to more than 40
European research infrastructures and brings together the three
scientific communities of nuclear physics, detectors and accelerators
for particle physics.
The transnational access activity supports small teams to carry out
experiments and tests in facilities.
Among these there is the FLUTE facility at KIT in Germany.
Hello and welcome to the LINAC-based FLUTE facility at Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology KIT.
My name is Robert Rupprecht.
I am the coordinator for accelerator systems.
It's my pleasure to be your contact person for our accelerator team,
for transnational access and for your experiments at FLUTE.
The linear accelerator and terahertz facility FLUTE at KIT provides
ultra -short electron bunches with energies up to 50 MeV.
The accelerator consists of a femtosecond laser-driven photoinjector,
a linear acceleration section and a bunch compressor.
FLUTE is set up to provide coherent radiation in ultra-short, very
intense, light pulses spanning the terahertz and far-infrared spectral
range and beyond.
The test facility FLUTE can be configured to host a variety of
different experiments with electrons and photons.
Ongoing research activities within the accelerator technology platform
at KIT include the development of detector, magnet and accelerator
technologies for biomedical applications.
Here KIT cooperates with the German Cancer Research Center and the
Heidelberg University Hospital in the development and characterization
of new technologies and modalities for radiation therapy.
Following a successful transnational access application for Kera, KIT
can provide European users from outside of Germany co-financing of an
on -site visit to a KIT facility as part of EuroLabs.
