Abstract
The status of the implementation of the Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility is reported. The main instruments at ELI-NP will be two 10 PW synchronizable lasers and a high-brilliance gamma beam system. The ELI-NP gamma beams will be produced via Compton back-scattering of laser photons off accelerated electrons. The emerging day-one experimental program is discussed, together with the detector systems which are under construction for its realization. At ELI-NP an IGISOL facility is planned, where beams of exotic nuclei will be produced in photo-fission. This opens the avenue for studies of nuclear structure studies, such as mass measurements, nuclear moments and charge radii. The core of this project is a Cryogenic Stopping Cell (CSC) with an orthogonal extraction with respect to the gamma beam.
