The European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) has selected in 2006 a proposal based ultra-intense laser fields with intensities reaching up to 1022-1023 W cm-2 called 'ELI' for Extreme Light Infrastructure. construction of large-scale laser-centred, distributed pan-European research infrastructure, involving beyond the state-of-the-art ultra-short and technologies, received approval funding 2011-2012. three pillars ELI facility are being built Czech Republic, Hungary...
The emergence of a new era reaching beyond current state-of-the-art ultrashort and ultraintense laser technology has been enabled by the approval around € 850 million worth structural funds in 2011–2012 European Commission for installation Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI). ELI project consists three pillars being built Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania. This challenging proposal is based on recent technical progress allowing fields which intensities will soon be as high I0 ∼ 1023 W cm−2....

Such pygmy structure has been predicted...
Heavy neutron-rich nuclei were populated via the fragmentation of a E/A=1 GeV 20882Pb beam. Secondary fragments separated and identified subsequently implanted in passive stopper. By detection delayed γ rays, isomeric decays associated with these have been identified. A total 49 isomers detected, majority them observed for first time.

The vortex photon beam induced nuclear reaction is studied. interaction formalism of nuclei with photons developed and incorporated into the statistical model to calculate cross-sections. For 138 high astrophysics structure interest, cross-sections γ-ray emission neutron production from decay giant resonances (GR) populated by photons, e.g., (γvo,γemit) (γvo,nprod.), are computed. It shown that for (γvo,nprod.) cross-sections, GR contribution an individual L either enhanced or suppressed...
