ELI-Beamlines (ELI-BL), one of the three pillars Extreme Light Infrastructure endeavour, will be in a unique position to perform research high-energy-density-physics (HEDP), plasma physics and ultra-high intensity (UHI) (1022W/cm2) laser–plasma interaction. Recently need for HED laboratory was identified P3 (plasma platform) installation under construction ELI-BL an answer. The 10 PW laser makes possible fundamental topics from high-field new extreme states matter such as radiation-dominated...
Abstract The design and the early commissioning of ELI-Beamlines laser facility’s 30 J, fs, 10 Hz HAPLS (High-repetition-rate Advanced Petawatt Laser System) beam transport (BT) system to P3 target chamber are described in detail. It is world’s first with 54 m length, longest distance high average power petawatt (PW) BT ever built. connects pulse compressor via injector periscope 4.5 diameter plasma physics group hall E3. largest facility was connected system. major engineering challenges...
We report on the status of a users' end-station, MAC: Multipurpose station for Atomic, molecular and optical sciences Coherent diffractive imaging, designed studies structure dynamics matter in femtosecond time-domain. MAC is located E1 experimental hall high harmonic generation (HHG) beamline ELI Beamlines facility. The extreme ultraviolet beam from HHG can be used at end-station together with synchronized pump (which will cover NIR/Vis/UV or THz range) time-resolved experiments different...
We report on a study of laser plasma instabilities with 527 nm pulses in an intensity range 0.5×1013−1.1×1015 Wcm−2 and parameters entering regime that is relevant for direct drive inertial confinement fusion. Using the kilojoule high repetition rate L4n at Extreme Light Infrastructure—Beamlines, more than 1300 shots were collected, onset growth stimulated Brioullin scattering (SBS) Raman (SRS) studied confidence level. The measured intensities are 0.2×1014 SBS 1.4×1014 SRS. At maximum...
We report on the commissioning of a full aperture backscatter diagnostics station for kilojoule, nanosecond high repetition rate L4n laser operating at wavelength 527 nm Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) - Beamlines, Dolni Brezany, Czech Republic. scattered back from laser-plasma interaction into cone final focusing lens is captured and split different channels to measure signatures plasma instabilities stimulated Brillouin scattering, Raman two plasmon decay with respect energy, its...
