Demonstrated experimental viability using existing technology.

Abstract

The LUXE experiment (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) is a new experiment in planning at DESY Hamburg using the electron beam of the European XFEL (Eu.XFEL). LUXE is intended to study collisions between a high-intensity optical laser and up to 16.5 GeV electrons from the Eu.XFEL electron beam, or, alternatively, high-energy secondary photons. The physics objective of LUXE are processes of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) at the strong-field frontier, where QED is non-perturbative. LUXE is also able to probe different forms of new physics beyond the standard model of fundamental particles and forces. Particularly, the concept of New Physics Optical Dump (NPOD) searches. The design of the experimental setup and the different detectors are presented
