  1. GOVERNMENT OF ROMANIA EUROPEAN UNION Structural Instruments 2007-2013 Sectoral Operational Programme „Increase of Economic Competitiveness” “Investments for Your Future” Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) • Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund Status and Perspectives Nicolae-Victor Zamfir

  2. Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) Gerard Mourou 1985: Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA)

  3. Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) Secondary target Secondary radiations - electrons bremssstrahlung - gamma rays, neutrons E~Ilaser1/2 Primary radiations Electrons are expelled from the target due to the chock wave induced by the powerful laser Heavy ions are accelerated in the field created by the electrons 3 S.C. Wilks et al., Phys. Plasmas 8, 542 (2001).

  4. Radiation Pressure Acceleration RPA Electrons and ions accelerated at solid state densities 1024e cm-3 (Classical beam densities 108e cm-3) on very short distance (μm-mm) E~ I laser Energy reached equal to a 400m up-to-date accelerator (reduction of scale of 109) 4

  5. Proton acceleration I0.5 RPA simulations 10 23 W/cm2 ,15 fs 5
