Abstract

An overview of the 200 TW Frascati Laser for Acceleration and Multidisciplinary Experiments (FLAME) at the SPARC_LAB Test Facility at the National Laboratories of Frascati (LNF-INFN) is presented. The FLAME laser is employed to investigate different laser–matter interaction schemes, i.e., electron acceleration and secondary radiation sources through Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) or ion and proton generation through Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA), for a wide range of scientific areas including the biomedical applications. Finally, recently performed experimental campaigns within the EuAPS and EuPRAXIA frameworks are reported.
