45 Conclusions Low luminosity Paradigm: PeV particles, single shot could be produced by laser acceleration. High Luminosity Paradigme: Preliminary studies with CAN have demonstrated that the possibility to build an efficient laser driver for a GW, TeV, collider seems at this point possible . The ICAN program in 18 months hopefully will help us to confirm this opinion
