*WIGNER SZFI Seminar*
Extreme plasmas and particle sources produced by High Power Laser VEGA -
"The first experimental campaign at the Centro de Laseres Pulsados"

*Luca Volpe*
Centro de Laseres Pulsados, Salamanca, Spain (host: Földes István)

Thursday, 25 July 2019 10:00, KFKI Campus, Bldg. 1, 2nd floor, Conference
Room

Laser-driven plasma is the primary subject of investigation in modern high
powered laser facilities. The Centro de Láseres Pulsados (CLPU) is one of
the most representative facilities in this area, operating a petawatt level
system working at 1-10 Hz. The Vega system is already in operation and
several experimental campaigns have been run from several internationally
recognised research groups. The combination of laser intensity, pulse
duration and repetition rate offered by VEGA pave the way for new exiting
possibilities and civil applications, including biological and medical
physics, materials science, laser fusion, laboratory astrophysics, and
cultural heritage.

Everyone is welcome to attend.
