Abstract
Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI–NP), a new Research Center under construction, will use extreme electromagnetic fields for nuclear physics research and will be operational in 2018. The status of the Project implementation will be presented. At ELI–NP, a high power laser system together with a very brilliant gamma beam are the two main research tools. Their targeted operational parameters will be described. The related experimental set-ups will be presented, together with the main directions of the research envisioned.
Highlights
The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), listed on the ESFRI (European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures) 2006 road-map, is distributed among three European countries and funded by European Commission through Structural Funds
At the time of entering operation, Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI–NP) will be the most advanced research infrastructure in the world focused on photonuclear physics studies and applications
The gamma beam system will be constructed by EuroGammas, a European consortium led by INFN Italy and composed of leading research institutions and private companies in accelerator and laser technologies from 8 European countries
Summary
The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), listed on the ESFRI (European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures) 2006 road-map, is distributed among three European countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania) and funded by European Commission through Structural Funds. The Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI–NP) pillar [1], located near Bucharest in the Magurele Physics research campus, is midway the implementation phase. The civil construction of the new center, consisting of laser building, accelerator and experiments. At the time of entering operation, ELI–NP will be the most advanced research infrastructure in the world focused on photonuclear physics studies and applications. The facility will cover frontier fundamental physics, new nuclear physics and astrophysics as well as applications in nuclear materials and radioactive waste management, materials science and life sciences [2,3,4]
