Abstract

Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) aims at establishing an international laser research infrastructure hosting the worldwide most advanced ultra-high power lasers and gamma beam system. The project was listed in the 2006 road-map of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) and since 2013 it entered the implementation phase co-financed with EU Structural Funds. The project promotes a new concept of pan-European research infrastructure distributed in several European countries and operated as a user facility opened to the whole international scientific community. The infrastructure will be built on four pillars, three of them being presently in the implementation phase: (1) ELI Beamlines in Prague, Czech Republic, focused on the production of ultra intense and ultra short pulses of electrons, protons, and ions; (2) ELI Attosecond in Szeged, Hungary, dedicated to the investigation of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, plasmas, and solids at the attosecond level; and (3) ELI–Nuclear Physics in Bucharest, Romania, dedicated to laser-based nuclear physics research.
