Vulcan petawatt - An ultra-high-intensity interaction facility

Abstract:: The Vulcan Nd: glass laser at the Central Laser Facility is a Petawatt (10 15 W) interaction facility available to the UK and international user community. The facility came online to users in 2002 and considerable experience has been gained operating the Vulcan facility in this mode. The facility is designed to deliver irradiance on target of 10 21 W cm -2 for a wide-ranging experimental programme in fundamental physics and advanced applications. This includes the interaction of super-high-intensity light with matter, fast ignition fusion research, photon induced nuclear reactions, electron and ion acceleration by light waves and the exploration of the exotic world of plasma physics dominated by relativity.
