EUROfusion’s Post

The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) gets ready to break new ground As part of the 🇪🇺 🇯🇵 Broader Approach agreement, Fusion for Energy (F4E) and National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) are developing LIPAc, a demonstrator for future facilities testing fusion materials like IFMIF-DONES. The teams recently closed a successful round of beam operations at LIPAc and are now preparing its final configuration, with a new Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) section. Thanks to the accumulated know-how and design improvements, LIPAc will move to current levels and duty cycles never reached before.🚀 F4E provided most of the prototype’s sub-systems, in collaboration with research institutes like Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, INFN, CIEMAT and SCK CEN, together with EUROfusion.🤝 📰 Read the news: https://t.ly/oyzrp #fusion #energy #accelerator #innovation #research #beam #physics #collaboration
