This division is in charge of (1) development, production, and calibration of diagnostics, (2) target development and supply, (3) research and development for biophysics, medical and industrial applications. This division can support any needs arising from the user involved experiments.
Target Laboratory is dedicated to the development, fabrication, characterization and micro-assembly of targets for experiments with high-power lasers and gamma beams.
The role of the Laser Experiments Diagnostics Laboratory is to facilitate the construction, alignment and testing of optical set-ups that will be used in the experimental areas of the ELI-NP.
Is dedicated to the maintenance/repair and measurements of the main characteristics for a wide range of detectors: High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors, scintillator detectors, and silicon strip detectors (SSD).
The Biophysics Team investigates the biomolecular effects of radiation in cells by means
of metabolomics and imaging techniques.
The purpose of the X-ray Imaging laboratory (XIL) is to develop new diagnostic instruments and methods using X-rays radiation towards opening new fundamental and applied research directions. The main R&D direction of this unit are: the development of X-ray diagnostics for laser-target interaction, biomedical X-ray imaging applications, fundamental science, and experiments for X-ray optics.
Head of Scientific Division
Professor Victor Malka is a world-renowned scientist in the field of plasma physics, winner several research grants including ERC and EIC Advanced grants,
and laureate of many international prizes. He has published more than 400 articles and has been
invited in more than 200 international conferences. He worked on different topics such as atomic
physics, inertial fusion, and laser plasma interaction.
His research activity is now mainly devoted
on relativistic interaction, laser plasma accelerators, and their related societal applications in
which he made several breakthrough contributions. Class exceptional Research Director detached from
the CNRS, he is Professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
