Abstract
EPAC is a world-class research facility currently under development at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom. It will house a titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:Sa) amplifier, which will be capable of delivering PW-level pulses at an unprecedented repetition rate of 10 Hz. Such combination of high peak power and repetition rate will be achieved by pumping the Ti:Sa amplifier with a Diode-Pumped Solid State Laser (DPSSL) based on the Central Laser Facility’s DiPOLE technology.
