Description
Laser technology continues to advance and contribute to nuclear physics research and applications, and it has the promise of playing an ever larger role. Ultrashort-pulse lasers can produce secondary radiation, including energetic particles and photons that can initiate nuclear reactions and probe nuclear states. Laser-driven implosion facilities also create conditions relevant for nuclear physics studies and applications.
This talk will address the current laser technology state of the art and its uses in various nuclear science and applications ranging from spectroscopy and nucleosynthesis to isotope production and probing materials.
