http://www.extreme-light-infrastructure.eu/ ELI would be the first infrastructure dedicated to the fundamental study of laser-matter interaction in a new and unsurpassed regime of laser intensity: the ultra-relativistic regime. At its centre would be an exawatt-class laser around 1000 times more powerful than either the Laser Megajoule in France or the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the US. In "contrast" to these projects, ELI would attain its extreme power from the shortness of its pulses (femtosecond and attosecond).
