TL;DR: The Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model.

TL;DR: The EuPRAXIA project aims at the construction of an innovative electron accelerator using laser-and electron-beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration that offers a significant reduction in size and possible savings in cost over current state-of-the-art radiofrequency-based accelerators as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The injection of a seed in a free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier reduces the saturation length and improves the longitudinal coherence, and a cascaded FEL, operating in the high-gain harmonic-generation regime, allows us to extend the beneficial effects of the seed to shorter wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the first experimental implementation of a method based on simultaneous use of an energy chirp in the electron beam and a tapered undulator, for the generation of ultrashort pulses in a self-amplified spontaneous emission mode free-electron laser (SASE FEL).

TL;DR: A large acceptance Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal) was installed in the ALICE central detector to enhance the capabilities for jet quenching measurements as mentioned in this paper, which has played a key role at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and will be central to the study of nuclear collisions.
