SESSION I: STRATEGIES, SOLUTIONS, REQUIREMENTS, OPEN QUESTIONS FOR EMP AND DEBRIS SHIELDING [ 8:30 - 11:30 CET ]
- Dr. Tomas Lastovicka, Dr. Marius Gugiu
Very high amplitude electromagnetic pulses (EMP) are generated during the interaction of high intense laser pulses with targets. Such huge EMP can interfere or disrupt diagnostics and compromise the reliable operation of the beamlines. On the other hand, such interactions lead to the generation of a notable amount of Debris. Moreover, this introduces huge mitigation challenges for high...

The ELI-NP (Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics) research facility is approaching full operational status. Last year, the commissioning of the 1 PW experimental area has been successfully performed with a TNSA experiment on proton acceleration. In this experiment, the laser beam was focused with a peak intensity of the...
GA has served the target fabrication community with custom developmental targets as well as mass-fabricated targets for high rep-rate facilities. GA is now embarking on the fabrication of large (20-50 cm) debris shields to better serve this need in the laser facility community. Technical progress and initial demonstration samples will be presented.
In this presentation, we illustrate EMP and debris mitigation strategies implemented at HZDR operated laser facilities.
