Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics Status Update
Invited-In-person · Invited
Abstract
The Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP), located in Bucharest-Măgurele, Romania, is a cutting-edge European research center. It features two primary advanced systems: a high-intensity laser and a tunable, high-brilliance gamma beam source.
Since early 2020, the facility has provided laser pulses at nominal powers of 100 TW, 1 PW, and 10 PW to its experimental areas through the user access program. The High Power Laser System (HPLS) at ELI-NP currently holds the distinction of being the most powerful laser system in the world, regularly delivering 10 PW pulses for experimental use.
IFIN-HH/ELI-NP also oversees two significant projects: “Medical Applications of High-Power Lasers – Dr. Laser” and the Centre for High Power Optics. This presentation will offer a technical overview of the ELI-NP infrastructure, highlighting its capabilities and the latest developments in its research and development programs.
