Alessio Del Dotto
researcher in Accelerator physics INFN National Laboratories of Frascati
Alessio Del Dotto is a researcher at INFN's National Laboratories of Frascati, where he works on plasma wakefield acceleration, a technology that promises accelerators far more compact than conventional machines. A leading member of the SPARC_LAB and EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB collaborations, he has contributed to several landmark results in the field, including the first free-electron laser with a compact beam-driven plasma accelerator. His work ranges from beam dynamics to plasma characterisation and plasma-based radiation sources. He also develops Bayesian machine learning methods that, by coupling probabilistic models to GPU-cluster simulations, sharply reduce the cost of designing these accelerators. He holds a degree in Physics from Sapienza University of Rome and a PhD from Roma Tre University, and has authored more than fifty scientific publications.

Particle accelerators are complex and costly machines that collide particles at speeds close to that of light to explore the Universe. Yet their size and cost pose a challenge: can they become more compact and affordable? What will future accelerators look like? The answer may lie in plasma accelerators. The PACRI project aims to develop innovative technologies for future plasma-based accelerators. A journey through physics, technology and research to discover the tools that will make the invisible visible.
