Director General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission Jean-Eric Paquet to ELI Beamlines

Nobel Prize Laureate has a scientific lecture at ELI Beamlines

Today, June 22nd 2018 Prof. Serge Haroche gives a scientific lecture called Ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems in the research centre ELI Beamlines in Dolni Brezany.

TANGO Collaboration Meeting

This year, ELI Beamlines organizes the annual second-largest conference in Europe about control systems development. It is held 5-7 June 2018 at ELI Beamlines in Dolní Břežany.

It’s a networking conference mainly for control systems engineers.

ELIMAIA at ELI Beamlines

ELIMAIA will be one of the key secondary source target areas of the ELI Beamlines facility. The proposed technological and scientific solutions for the implementation of the ELIMAIA beamline is the result of a complex investigation carried out in the last several years with the main goal of fulfilling the specific requirements that have been coming from the international user community.

Registration is now open for ELISS 2018

After the 1st edition in Dolní Břežany (Czech Republic) in 2016, the 2nd edition in Cheile Gradistei (Romania) in 2017, we are pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the ELI Summer School series. This year ELISS 2018 will be hosted by ELI-ALPS on 27-31 August 2018 in Szeged, Hungary.

Nature Photonics: Femtosecond X-ray Fourier holography imaging of free-flying nanoparticles

Ultrafast X-ray imaging on individual fragile specimens such as aerosols, metastable particles, superfluid quantum systems and live biospecimens provides high-resolution information that is inaccessible with conventional imaging techniques. Coherent X-ray diffractive imaging, however, suffers from intrinsic loss of phase, and therefore structure recovery is often complicated and not always uniquely defined. Here, we introduce the method of in-flight holography, where we use nanoclusters as reference X-ray scatterers to encode relative phase information into diffraction patterns of a virus.

ELI will join International Day of Light 2018

The International Day of Light will provide an annual focal point for the continued appreciation of the central role that light plays in the lives of the citizens of the world in areas of science, culture and art, education, sustainable development, and in fields as diverse as medicine, communications and energy. Following the highly successful International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies 2015, the broad theme of light will allow many different sectors of society to participate in activities around the world around May 16th to raise awareness of science and technology, art and culture, and their importance in achieving the goals of UNESCO — education, equality and peace.

Enhancement of proton therapy effectiveness experimentally demonstrated for the first time: Proton Boron Capture Therapy (PBCT)

Enhancement of proton therapy effectiveness experimentally demonstrated for the first time: Proton Boron Capture Therapy (PBCT)

The use of proton-boron nuclear fusion to enhance proton therapy effectiveness in the cancer cell killing rate has been demonstrated experimentally as a result of a scientific collaboration among researchers coming from Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS-INFN) in Catania, ELI-Beamlines (ELI-IoP-ASCR) in Prague, Department of Physics of University of Naples Federico II (DoP-UoN), and Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) in Trento. The experimental research, carried out at LNS, is a result of two years of intensive experimental activity based on trials with various cell lines.

LEAK Workshop

LEAK Workshop
Laser Electron Acceleration at KHz
January 17 - 18, 2018 / ELI Beamlines, Czech Republic

LEAK workshop conclusions

“ LEAK workshop has been the first international meeting about kHz laser plasma electron accelerators. The goal of LEAK workshop was to discuss the recent results about laser electron acceleration at high repetition rate, study the potential medical and industrial applications of such beams, and, finally review the possible lasers which can be used in this context. LEAK has been jointly organized with the French colleagues of the Laboratorie d’Optique Appliquée, who have been the first to demonstrate good quality electron beams produced at kHz repetition rate.
