  1. 131. Nuclear physics and astrophysics ELI-NP: The emerging future
    Prof. Dimiter Balabanski (ELI-NP/IFIN)
    21/06/2017, 08:30
    Invited talk
    The mission of the Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) research infrastruc- ture are nuclear physics studies with high-power lasers and high-brilliance quasi-monochromatic gamma beams [1,2]. The laboratory will become operational as an user facility in 2019. Two high-power lasers will provide laser pulses on target, each of them having three outputs, e.g....

    Nuclear astrophysics with lasers
    Invited talk
    A new methodology to measure cross-sections for thermonuclear reactions that power the stars is being developed at the University of Warsaw. These reactions take place at different energies according to the respective stellar environment. Such energies are well below the Coulomb barrier and the respective cross-sections are incredibly small, often below the experimental reach. There is a lack...

  3. 132. Fusion plasmas and neutron production from the interaction of D2 and CD4 clusters with contrast upgraded Texas Petawatt laser
    Dr Hernan J. Quevedo (University of Texas)

    Invited talk
    Nuclear fusion from the interaction of very high intensity laser pulses and nm-scale deuterium clusters has been studied since 1999 [1]. These van der Waals bonded clusters can be easily produced in the expansion of a gas jet into vacuum. They absorb the laser pulse energy very efficiently (approaching 100% under certain conditions) and the process by which the ions attain high kinetic...

    Nuclear astrophysics with lasers
    Oral
    The Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility, under construction in Magurele near Bucharest in Romania, will provide high-intensity and high-resolution gamma ray beams that can be used to address hotly debated problems in nuclear astrophysics, such as the accurate measurements of the cross sections of the 24Mg( ,)20Ne reaction, that is funda- mental to determine the...
