Workshop on Nuclear Photonics and Research Opportunities at ELI-NP
September 09, 2021
About the Workshop
The workshop aims at mapping the mutual interests of Indian Researchers and the planned physics programs and ongoing R & D activities at ELI-NP, Romania. The main motivation is building a long-term involvement of the Indian Nuclear Physics Community in the nuclear physics research in ELI-NP. This collaboration workshop is expected to build the road map for future work on nuclear photonics using the ELI-NP facility. Possible In-kind contributions from Indian researchers along with full time equivalent (FET) scientists and time scales will be discussed. The workshop will be held online.
Meeting link will be sent to the registered participants on September 8, 2021

The Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) project is one of the most prestigious research infrastructures in the world due to its unique state-of-the-art equipment. Implemented by the National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering Horia Hulubei (IFIN-HH), ELI-NP has been designated by the Nuclear Physics Collaboration Committee of the European Science Foundation (NuPECC) as a major facility in the Nuclear Physics Long Range Plan.
The ELI-NP finalized successfully the commissioning of the High-Power Laser System (HPLS), the most powerful laser in the world. The ELI-NP HPLS is now delivering the 2 x 10 PW @ 1 shot per minute, 2 x 1 PW @ 1 Hz and the 2 x 100 TW @ 10 Hz pulses and the first commissioning experiments are under implementation. The success of the HPLS implementation is the result of an excellent collaboration between ELI-NP and Thales.
The project also includes a high flux, high brilliance, monochromatic, energy tunable gamma-beam production system based on laser inverse Compton scattering off relativistic electron bunches. The Variable Energy Gamma (VEGA) System at ELI-NP defines a new state–of–the–art gamma beam facility. It will provide gamma beams with energy continuously tunable between 1 MeV and 19.5 MeV, relative energy bandwidth better than 0.5% and a spectral density higher than 5 x 10^3 photons/s/eV. The construction of the VEGA System was awarded to Lyncean Technologies Inc. and its delivery, installation and acceptance are scheduled to be completed in early 2023.
