Dear Colleagues,

we are glad to invite you to participate to the 7th European Conference on Plasma Diagnostics (ECPD 2027), which will be held on 9th-14th May 2027 in Pisa (Italy).

The conference, organized by the Intense Laser Irradiation Laboratory (ILIL) at INO-CNR in Pisa, will bring together scientists & engineers working on plasma diagnostics for magnetic confinement fusion, inertial confinement fusion, beam plasmas, low-temperature and industrial plasmas as well as space and astrophysical plasmas.

For more details, visit the web site of the conference www.ecpd-conference.com, which will be enriched with relevant information in next months.

We look forward to seeing you all in Pisa in 2027.

With our warmest wishes,

the ILIL team

JUST PUBLISHED. An original study of a laser-plasma accelerator of Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) led by Federico Avella. A model that puts together some of the most advanced concepts of injection, acceleration, extraction and transport of electrons, combined to deliver bunches with the best combination of charge, energy spread and emittance required for effective application of future biomedical applications of VHEE beams.

We present a numerical study on a structured plasma target to simultaneously improve the energy spread and divergence of a laser-driven very high energy electro
