Valeriia Istokskaia (ELI Beamlines) will report on a pioneering experiment exploiting proton-boron fusion in CH/BN targets to obtain high-energy alpha particle beams (up to 5 MeV) using a compact approach and a tabletop laser system with a peak power of ~10 GW, which can operate at high-repetition rate (up to 1 kHz).
Are you an advanced Master's student, graduate student, or post-doc from the field of Mathematics and Science or Information Technology? Then now is your chance to apply for the 32nd Jyväskylä Summer School in Finland. From 7 August to 11 August, they offer courses in nanoscience for a maximum of 32 participants to study “Ultrafast Spectroscopy: Phenomena, Measurements and Data Analysis Methods”. Laserlab-Europe offers a limited number of travel grants for covering travel and accommodation costs. The deadline for applications is 30 April.
Within the Open Access programme, the HiLASE Centre offers its infrastructure to other researchers free of charge. The 6th call is now open until 15 May 2023.
Are you developing materials for a circular economy or are you facing a specific challenge in your circular materials research? From 1 March to 30 April, ReMade-at-@ARI is accepting proposals and pre-proposals that can be uploaded via its access portal.
Dr. Michael Ehret (CLPU), Dr. Jakub Cikhardt (CTU) and Dr. Philip Bradford (CELIA) took part in a Laserlab-Europe staff exchange at the Prague Asterix Laser System (PALS) in the Czech Republic in September 2022. In this article, P. Bradford recounts their time in Prague, where they have been working on developing a high-performance current and voltage probe for use on a range of high power laser facilities. The result of the fruitful collaboration: The construction of three new current probes, as well as the training received by CLPU and CELIA researchers, will enable the Laserlab Expert Groups to measure laser-driven currents easily at several major international laser facilities.
The EU project ReMade@ARI starts on 1 September with participation of Laserlab-Europe AISBL.
Laserlab-Europe AISBL, the international not-for-profit association representing 45 leading laser research infrastructures in 22 European countries, is pleased to announce that Britta Redlich and John Collier have been elected Chair and Vice-Chair of the General Assembly.
