Abstract
Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics facility will come online in Bucharest-Magurele, Romania, in 2018 and will deliver high intensity laser and brilliant gamma beams. We present the physics cases and instruments proposed at ELI-NP to measure capture reactions by means of the inverse photodisintegration reaction. We propose to study the 16O(γ, α)12C reaction using a Time Projection Chamber detector with electronic readout. Several other reactions, such as 24Mg(γ, α)20Ne and reactions on heavy nuclei relevant in the p-process, are central to stellar evolution and will be investigated with a proposed Silicon Strip Detector array and a 4π neutron detector. The status of the experimental facilities and first-day experiments will be presented in detail.
