EuPRAXIA DN Fellow Ana Guisao Betancur recently took part in a four-week secondment at SPARC. During her time there, she focussed on data acquisition with their RF deflector for full bunch characterisation and in data analysis for a THz-based longitudinal diagnostics currently under development. Additionally, she had the opportunity to study and discuss the facility’s beam-driven accelerator concepts and future plans with different members of the team. SPARC_LAB at INFN-LNF (

Prof Carsten P Welsch, EuPRAXIA-DN coordinator and EuPRAXIA-PP WP2 leader, was presented with a 2026 MeetEngland Impact Network Award in recognition of his outstanding achievements in bringing major scientific events to England. In addition to dozens of scientific workshops, schools and symposia, Professor Welsch had a key role in bringing the flagship Linear Accelerator Conference ( LINAC 2022 ), the International Beam Instrumentation Conference ( IBIC 2025 ), and the Intern

A new study from the University of Liverpool’s QUASAR Group , with collaborators from the MAX IV Light Source , describes a pioneering design for a “bunch-length monitor” capable of measuring ultra-short electron bunches with femtosecond-level resolution, using spatial images of Coherent Transition Radiation (CTR). The work is published in the open-access journal Instruments under the title Designing a Femtosecond-Resolution Bunch Length Monitor Using Coherent Transition Radi

The biennial Low Level Radio Frequency Workshop ( LLRF Workshop 2025 ), which convenes scientists and engineers worldwide to focus on precision radio frequency systems for particle accelerators took place from the 12-16 October 2025 at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Virginia, USA.  EuPRAXIA DN Fellow Phani Deep Meruga attended the workshop and took the opportunity to present a talk entitled “Development and Testing of a Low-Noise X-Band
