The Representatives of US Embassy visited ELI facility

On Thursday March 8th, 2017 the officers from US Embassy in Prague and Budapest visited ELI Beamlines facility in Dolní Břežany. The representatives were welcomed and accompanied by Jan Řídký , the director of IoP and Ladislav Půst, Instalation of Technology Manager.

Dosimetry devices for the ELIMAIA beamline have been developed by INFN-LNS

On February 9th, 2017 a crucial milestone for the development of the ELIMED dosimetry section of the ELIMAIA beamline was achieved by the INFN-LNS team. ELIMED is the beam transport and dosimetry section of the ELI Multidisciplinary Applications for laser-Ion Acceleration (ELIMAIA) and represents a key technology for the entire ELI-Beamlines facility since it will enable users to perform pre-clinical research for future applications in cancer therapy, such as biological cell irradiation with short bunches of protons (not available at conventional facilities) accelerated by the HAPLS PW-class, 10 Hz laser.
