description

One of the unique features of the PHELIX laser installation is the combination of the ultra-high intensity laser with the heavy-ion accelerator facility at GSI and its planned extension FAIR. Due to this combination, PHELIX will allow novel investigations in the fields of plasma physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and accelerator studies. An important issue within the scientific program is the generation of high quality x-ray laser beams for x-ray laser spectroscopy of highly-charged ions. The long range perspective is the study of nuclear properties of radioactive isotopes within the FAIR [1] project. A novel single mirror focusing scheme for the TCE XRL has been successfully implemented by the LIXAM/MBI/GSI collaboration under different pump geometries. Intense and stable laser operation with Ni-like Zr and Ni-like Ag was demonstrated at pump energies between 2 J and 5 J from the PHELIX pre-amplifier section.
