Abstract

Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) is one of the 48 infrastructures of the European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) roadmap and represents a major step forward in quest for producing extreme electromagnetic fields. Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) is one of the three pillars of the ELI initiative, which aims to use extreme electromagnetic fields for nuclear physics research. A high power laser system and a very brilliant gamma beam are the two main research equipment at the core of ELI-NP. Their targeted operational parameters are described. The related experimental areas are also presented, together with the main directions of the proposed scientific programme.

Summary

Introduction

The second phase of financing will be granted in the Structural Funds cycle (2014-2020). The entire facility will be operational in 2018. This paper presents the planned high power laser system and the gamma beam system parameters. It gives a glimpse of the scientific program associated with the ELI-NP facility [2,3]
