Report on the Advanced Linear Collider Study Group (ALEGRO) Workshop 2026
L. Verra, P. Muggli, B. Cross +56
The 7th ALEGRO workshop, hosted by INFN Frascati National Laboratories from 3rd to 5th March 2026, brought together the international Advanced Novel Accelerators (ANA) community to…
Slice Emittance Preservation and Focus Control in a Passive Plasma Lens
J. Björklund Svensson, J. BeinortaitÄ, L. Boulton +15
Strong, symmetrically focusing plasma lenses are promising for accommodating the small beams associated with plasma-based accelerators and collider final foci. However, while focus…
A Linear Collider Vision for the Future of Particle Physics
H. Abramowicz, E. Adli, F. Alharthi +446
In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take a fresh look at the…
Characterization of discharge capillaries via benchmarked hydrodynamic plasma simulations
S. M. Mewes, G. J. Boyle, R. D'Arcy +10
Plasma accelerators utilize strong electric fields in plasma waves to accelerate charged particles, making them a compact alternative to radiofrequency technologies. Discharge capi…
The Linear Collider Facility (LCF) at CERN
H. Abramowicz, E. Adli, F. Alharthi +406
In this paper we outline a proposal for a Linear Collider Facility as the next flagship project for CERN. It offers the opportunity for a timely, cost-effective and staged construc…
Ion-motion simulations of a plasma-wakefield experiment at FLASHForward
D. Kalvik, P. Drobniak, F. Peña +13
In plasma-based acceleration, an ultra-relativistic particle bunch$\unicode{x2014}$or an intense laser beam$\unicode{x2014}$is used to expel electrons from its propagation path, fo…
