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 (HLPS), the most powerful laser in the world. The ELI-NPHPLS is now delivering the 2 x 10PW @ 1 shot per minute, 2 x 1 PW @ 1Hz 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.
