The Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) has established itself as a world-leading facility by operating the first dual-arm 10 petawatt (PW) laser system, HPLS, which serves as a cornerstone for experimental nuclear photonics research. In 2024 alone, ELI-NP achieved 67 operational weeks of beam delivery for users, including 30 weeks at full 10 PW output at a 1 shot/minute...
We will present results aimed at enabling a novel dual (neutron and x-ray) interrogation method, based on ultra-intense lasers irradiating solid targets. The objective is to
perform dense material probing, while also supporting imaging of high speed events. The concept is to produce both a bright X-ray source
appropriate for high-resolution radiography from thin primary (pitcher) targets...
The giant dipole resonance (GDR) of atomic nuclei dominates their response to an oscillating electromagnetic radiation field. It represents the archetype of a collective nuclear mode. It is particle unbound and decays predominantly by particle emission. Its (small) probability for internal decay by gamma-ray emission is proportional to the maximum of its photon absorption cross section.
