Invited Plenary Talk

talk

We will be summarizing the status of the major parts of the ELI pillars including high intensity laser sources, experimental areas with beamlines and end-stations. Special emphasis will be given to the availability of equipment for the first calls for users and user policy. The next steps of the transformation of ELI–DC (delivery consortium) to ELI-ERIC (European Research Infrastructure...

256. Recent Developments and Future Applications for Laser-Driven Neutron Sources

Ceri Brenner (STFC Central Laser Facility)

Invited Plenary Talk

talk

Laser-driven accelerators drive ultra-short pulse beams of MeV ions and photons that can be utilised as deployable neutron sources for science and industry. This talk will summarise recent results from groups around the world focusing on the optimisation of laser-driven neutron sources for applications relevant to security, industry and science. Topics covered include neutron beam...

234. Experimental Signatures of the Quantum Nature of Radiation Reaction in the Field of an Ultraintense Laser

Gianluca Sarri (Queen's University Belfast)

Invited Plenary Talk

talk

Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) represents one of the greatest theoretical achievements in modern physics, able to elegantly combine electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and special relativity into a unified theory. Its predictions have been tested to a high degree of precision in relatively low fields but, thus far, little is experimentally known about the behaviour of quantum systems in fields...
