Abstract
The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) Pan-European facility initiative represents a major step forward in quest for extreme electromagnetic fields. Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) is one of the three pillars of the ELI facility, that aims to use extreme electromagnetic fields for nuclear physics and quantum electrodynamics research. At ELI-NP, high-power lasers together with a very brilliant gamma beam are the main research tools. Their targeted operational parameters are described. The emerging experimental program in the field of nuclear physics of the facility is reported. The different instruments which are considered to operate in the ELI-NP experimental halls are discussed, with an emphasis on the instrumentation which is designed for nuclear structure, reactions and astrophysics research.
Highlights
The Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility under construction in Romania will host two state of the art systems, a high power laser system and a high brilliance gamma beam system [1]
The gamma beam industrial applications that we envision are mainly nondestructive inspections of objects, which are grouped in active interrogations based on nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) and gamma ray radioscopy and computed tomography (CT)
Scintillator based gamma beam diagnostics instruments The gamma beam produced at ELI-NP has unprecedented characteristics which call for constant monitoring and adjustment of its parameters to ensure proper operation
Summary
The Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility under construction in Romania will host two state of the art systems, a high power laser system and a high brilliance gamma beam system [1]. The gamma beam industrial applications that we envision are mainly nondestructive inspections of objects, which are grouped in active interrogations based on nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) and gamma ray radioscopy and computed tomography (CT). The setups dedicated to NRF-based applications to be developed at ELI-NP employ both the scattering and the transmission methods [2] and rely on the availability of a high-efficiency detector array.
