Description
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 laser systems together with a very brilliant gamma beam are the main research tools. Their targeted operational parameters will be described. The related experimental areas will be presented, together with the main directions of the research envisioned. The different experiments and the instrumentation, which is designed for nuclear structure, reactions and astrophysics research, will be presented, with an emphasis of the experiments related to photo-fission studies.
* This work is supported by Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) – Phase I, a project co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund.
