HTTP:: Romania to Host Most Powerful Laser in the World
--------
Three former Soviet-Bloc countries in Eastern Europe have recently been selected to host one of the most ambitious physics experiments devised by the European Union. The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) aims to build the most powerful exawatt-class laser in the world near the Romanian capital, Bucharest, which will enable scientists to perform a wide range of experiments at never-before-reached light intensities. Additionally, the facility will also be dedicated to investigating the laser-matter interactions in the unexplored ultra-relativistic regime, as well as to developing unprecedented, intense, ultra-short particle and radiation sources for fundamental and applied sciences.The pioneering laser facility has been equally awarded to Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic, it's total worth being estimated to be of around 500 million euros (some $728.5 million). According to preliminary plans, scientific research will be conducted on issues such as nuclear physics, astr!
ophysics, cosmology, and high-energy physics, although research into cancer therapies and other courses of treatment will also take place, Hungary's Prime Minister, Gordon Bajnai, has recently announced. The construction of the impressive facilities, which will employ some 300 scientists and 600 supporti...
