E1

E1 Experimental Area

E1 experimental area is built to host laser-driven experiments with two 10 PW laser beams.

The research will be mainly devoted to laser-driven nuclear physics and strong-field QED from laser-solid matter interaction.

The extremely intense laser interaction will be able to generate ultra-bright and high energy charged particles, gamma-rays, and neutrons, through processes in which the QED phenomena will start playing a significant role.

Main Activities

Laser-driven experiments on solid targets
Experiments with one or two 10 PW laser beams focused by short focal length parabolic mirrors
