Next generation high power lasers, such as ELI-Beamlines 10 PW laser, access new physics regimes. The theory/simulation program will explore these regimes and give a solid theoretical base which will lead to the realization of completely new high field experiments. This requires an upgrade of the existing 10 PW infrastructure. The synergy between theory/simulation and experimental infrastructure will create a worldwide unique center at the frontiers of super intense laser matter interaction.

This project is co-financed by EU.
