ELI-ALPS: the ultrafast challenges in Hungary
Abstract
The ELI -- Extreme Light Infrastructure -- or as it is commonly referred to: the SUPERLASER will be one of the large research facilities of the European Union. ELI will be built with a joint international effort to form an integrated infrastructure comprised of three branches. The ELI Beamline Facility (Prague, Czech Republic) will mainly focus on particle acceleration and X-ray generation, while the ELI Nuclear Physics Facility (Magurele, Romania) will be dealing with laser-based nuclear physics as well as high field physics. In the talk we introduce the ELI Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) to be built in Szeged, Hungary.
