At ELI, we are working on another exciting project titled “Time and Space Resolved Ultra-strong Magnetic-field Probing from Relativistic Laser-plasma Interaction in Ultrathin Targets at ELI-Beamlines.” The project will run until the end of September 2027.
TUMRIELI focuses on the generation and investigation of relativistic plasma using a liquid target and the cutting-edge L1-ALLEGRA laser system. The aim is to explore ultra-strong magnetic fields created during laser-plasma interactions with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. This research has the potential to advance our understanding of extreme states of matter and contribute to developments in high-energy-density physics.

Short description: AFOSR (The Air Force Office of Scientific Research) has awarded funding to ELI Beamlines to support the project titled “Time and Space Resolved Ultra-strong Magnetic-field Probing from Relativistic Laser-plasma Interaction in Ultrathin Targets at ELI-Beamlines (TUMRIELI).” Led by Dr. Daniele Margarone, Director of Research and Operations at ELI Beamlines, TUMRIELI focuses on creating and studying relativistic plasma from a liquid target using the state-of-the-art L1-ALLEGRA laser. The laser-target interaction at relativistic intensity is expected to generate plasma instabilities and produce strong magnetic fields, essential for understanding and controlling mechanisms that drive laser-based particle acceleration. This research will also provide insights into astrophysical phenomena, such as jets, solar flares, and gamma-ray bursts.
