ELI Summer School 2025 (Day 3)

The ELI Summer School program continued with inspiring talks dedicated to the latest advances in nuclear physics, particle accelerators, and medical applications of laser technologies.
Topics discussed included:

Progressing Nuclear Physics by Facilitating the Unique Beam Features of High-Power Laser Systems – The Dawn of a New Era – Klaus Spohr (ELI NP, Romania)
GeV Compton Photons Generated with Multi-PW Lasers – Petru Ghenuche (ELI NP, Romania)
Laser-Driven Ion Acceleration – Alessandro Maffini (Politecnico di Milano, Italy)
Laser Plasma-Based Nuclear Reactions and Plasma Diagnostics – Daniele Margarone (ELI ERIC, Beamlines facility, Czech Republic)
Medical Applications and Capabilities at ELI – Katalin Hideghéty (University of Szeged & ELI ERIC, ALPS facility, Hungary)
An Ultra-Short Story of Laser Wakefield Accelerator – Victor Malka (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel & ELI NP, Romania)
ELI Electron Acceleration Technology – Gabriele Grittani (ELI ERIC, Beamlines facility, Czech Republic)

The day provided a unique opportunity to explore the development of laser-plasma accelerators, their potential for fundamental research, and perspectives for practical applications – from medicine to new methods in nuclear physics. Even more exciting discussions and discoveries lie ahead!
