Announcement - Public review of the project Laser Plasma Research Centre takes place
on Wednesday, January 9, 2002 at 10 a.m. in the hall of the Scientific Centre PALS,
Za Slovankou 3, Praha 8
Laser Plasma Research Centre unites groups from
- Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
- Czech Technical University in Prague
in the
research of
- plasma generated by lasers - laser beam of high power lasers is
focused on a various targets, experiments are
directed to
applications of this plasma in various scientific and technical disciplines
(including a development of x-ray lasers)
- using plasma for lasing - plasma of pulsed discharges is used for
creation of new types of lasers
The main experimental facility is
- terawatt kilojoule laser system PALS,
one of the largest in Europe, operated jointly by Physical Institute and
Institute of Plasma Physics
Additional experimental facilities are
- chemical oxygen iodine laser COIL at the Institute of Physics
- capillary pinch CAPEX at the Institute of Plasma Physics
- capillary pinch at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering
- z-pinch at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering
Experimental research
is supplemented by theoretical effort and extensive numerical simulations.
The team at the Czech Technical University in Prague is headed
by
prof. Ing. Miroslava Vrbová, CSc.
Other participating members of the Department of Physical Electronics,
