Socio-Economic Impacts

ELAP is the Extreme Light Applications Park of the ELI-NP facility in Magurele (RO).

The Extreme Light physics is a novel approach to laser-matter interaction, made possible by the groundbreaking works of Prof T. Tajima (UCI, CA, USA) and Prof. G. Mourou (IZEST-Ecole Polytechnique, FR). The unique characteristic of the extreme light laser is to produce enormous amounts of energy and...
