Technical Design Report for the LUXE experiment

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

This Technical Design Report presents a detailed description of all aspects of the LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the European XFEL with a high-intensity laser, to explore the uncharted terrain of strong-field quantum electrodynamics characterised by both high energy and high intensity, reaching the Schwinger field and beyond. The further implications for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model are also discussed.

Funding

We thank the DESY technical staff for continuous assistance and the DESY directorate for their strong support and the hospitality they extend to the non-DESY members of the collaboration. This work has benefited from computing services provided by the German National Analysis Facility (NAF) and the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC). This work was in part funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under Germany’s Excellence Strategy—EXC 2121 “Quantum Universe”—390833306. This work has benefited from computing services provided by the German National Analysis Facility (NAF). Parts of the measurements leading to these results have been performed at the Test Beam Facility at DESY Hamburg (Germany), a member of the Helmholtz Association (HGF). The authors would like to thank the SHiP team at University of Hamburg as well as the ATLAS TRT group for providing straw tube samples for the test beam campaigns. The work presented in this document has been partially supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (grant No.: EP/T021659/1 and EP/V049186/1).
