They will be joined by 18 associated partners that make additional in-kind commitments. The goal of this ambitious project is to produce a conceptual design report for the worldwide first high energy plasma-based accelerator that can provide industrial beam quality and user areas. It is the important intermediate step between proof-of-principle experiments and ground-breaking, ultra-compact accelerators for science, industry, medicine or the energy frontier. Major elements of the project and the expected timeframe will be discussed. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
