“…The TARANIS laser, along with a home-built synchronized femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser will be used in the research areas of laserfield accelerated ion generation, warm dense matter, pump-probe experiments, and X-ray lasers. Due to its high degree of flexibility TARANIS should provide an excellent tool for original scientific research as well as bench-mark investigations carried out in support of work carried out at larger external high-power laser facilities such as PALS, VULCAN, NHELIX, and others (Zvorykin et al, 2007;Jungwirth, 2005;Danson et al, 2005;Neumayer et al, 2005;Schaumann et al 2005).…”

The multi-Terawatt laser system, terawatt apparatus for relativistic and nonlinear interdisciplinary science, has been recently installed in the Centre for Plasma Physics at the Queen's University of Belfast. The system will support a wide ranging science program, which will include laser-driven particle acceleration, X-ray lasers, and high energy density physics experiments. Here we present an overview of the laser system as well as the results of preliminary investigations on ion acceleration and X-ray lasers, mainly carried out as performance tests for the new apparatus. We also discuss some possible experiments that exploit the flexibility of the system in delivering pump-probe capability.

“…The already existing laser facility nanosecond high energy laser for ion experiments (nhelix) is currently complemented by a new laser PHELIX (Petawatt High Energy Laser for Ion Experiments) [7]. This is a laser system in the kJoule regime with the option to produce ultra-short, high-intensity light pulses with a total power above 1 PW (10 15 W).…”

Interaction phenomena of intense ion and laser radiation with matter have a large range of application in different fields of science, from basic research of plasma properties to application in energy science. The hot dense plasma of our neighbouring star the Sun provides a deep insight into the physics of fusion, the properties of matter at high energy density, and is moreover an excellent laboratory for astroparticle physics. As such the Sun's interior plasma can even be used to probe the existence of novel particles and dark matter candidates. We present an overview on recent results and developments of dense plasma physics addressed with heavy ion and laser beams combined with accelerator and nuclear physics technology.
