Economically attractive alternative to RF -based accelerators
In the long term, EuPRAXIA aims to establish the scientific and technological foundations upon which a new market – and therefore, a new industry – for non-RF-based accelerators could emerge, characterized by a much shorter length and possibly a cost representing only a fraction of what RF-based accelerators cost.
Those new accelerators, because of their reduced cost and size, would clearly constitute an economically attractive alternative to RF-based accelerators
