ELI "Extreme Light Infrastructure" is a new research infrastructure of pan-European
interest and part of the European roadmap (ESFRI). The major scientific laboratories
of this infrastructure are under construction in the so-called Pillars - the Czech Republic,
Hungary and Romania. These are laser devices designed to create high-intensity
laser pulses with the capability to study processes such as controlled nuclear fusion
and the generation of electron-positron pairs from power laser beams.
With purpose of participation of Bulgaria and Bulgarian research centers in the European
Project, a consortium of scientific organizations and universities, leading in laser physics
research in Bulgaria was established.
- Institute of Electronics - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
- Physics Department, Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski"
- Institute of Solid State Physics - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
The participation of Bulgaria with this consortium in ELI as a pan-European research
infrastructure will contribute to play role as an active member and future user
of the equipment as well as to the rebuild of Bulgarian laboratories using powerful
optical fields to prepare and conduct experiments in Bulgaria from various scientific
institutes in the country, but also, for example, from the Western Balkans.
