ELI-NP Research Departments

Strong local teams are developing state-of-the-art instrumentation for experiments in the emerging field of laser-driven nuclear physics. The two major systems are the Lasers System Department (LSD) and Gamma System Department (GSD), both with specifications well beyond existing facilities. The directions of research to be conducted at ELI-NP, mainly in the field of nuclear physics and its applications, are grouped in three other Research Departments. The five Research Departments emerged naturally, during debates within the scientific community, as a logical division between Research & Development related to the experimental systems and the research pursued by employing them.
The Technical Division provides support for the implementation and maintenance of the big equipments and the experimental set-ups.
