Obiettivo Description:The Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée (LOA) is specialized in ultrashort, and often intense, laser physics. Ultrashort, ultra-intense lasers have opened many new pathways to investigate laser-matter interactions. In this domain, LOA installations are unique in Europe in terms of performance. One ultra-high intensity laser produces at least 10**20 W/cm 2 at the focus (100 TW, 25 fs pulses), the world highest intensity at 10 Hz, thus opening up totally new regimes of physics. Moreover, several other cutting-edge laser systems allow users to benefit from a variety of laser specifications.Secondary sources ranging from mid-IR to VUV and laser-based X-ray sources also allow time-resolved experiments with femtosecond accuracy. Research topics include: high-intensity laser-matter interaction, superdense plasmas, relativistic electron acceleration, generation of intense bursts of X-ray radiation for time-resolved diffraction studies, generation of high-order harmonics, self-guided propagation of intense femtosecond pulses as well as solid state physics and biochemistry at ultrashort timescales. LOA is partner in a cluster (LIMANS 3) of 7 laser Research Infrastructures: MBI (Berlin, Germany), LLC (Lund, Sweden), FORTH (Heraklion, Greece), LENS (Florence, Italy) and LCVU (Amsterdam, Netherlands), and since a few months CUSBO (Milano).Application:Interested researchers are advised to get in touch with the Facility technical manager (balcou@enstay.ensta.fr) to get information. The web site http://wwwy.ensta.fr/loa-facility gives all practical instructions on the preparation of a research project. The final application takes place electronically at: http://limans3.mbi-berlin.de. Selection is performed by an independent international committee, common to all LIMANS 3 laser facilities.Project Manager:Philippe BALCOULaboratoire d'Optique Appliquée, ENSTA - Ecole Polytechnique, Chemin de la HuniFrePalaiseau 91761, FranceTel: +33-1-69319894Fax: +33-1-69319996E-Mail: balcou@enstay.ensta.fr Campo scientifico natural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrynatural sciencesphysical sciencescondensed matter physicssolid-state physicsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physics Programma(i) FP5-HUMAN POTENTIAL - Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Improving the human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base" (1998-2002) Argomento(i) 1.4.1.-2. - Access to Research Infrastructures Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento LFC - Access to Research Infrastructures Coordinatore ASSOCIATION POUR LA RECHERCHE ET LE DEVELOPPEMENT DES METHODES ET PROCESSUS INDUSTRIELS Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Chemin de La Huniere 91761 PALAISEAU Francia Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
