Today, we are thrilled to share that within the WP4 effort of THRILL project, the ELI-Beamlines team joined by GSI and HZDR teams, carried out a detailed study to assess the performance of the ATON 180 mm and 300 mm aperture amplifier types at different repetition rates (1 shot[…]

The EU funded project THRILL organises a summer school on laser technology for high-energy lasers from 7 to 11 October 2024 in Hyères, France. Focus topics will be: – laser architecture and laser amplification– diagnostics and beam quality control– AI in optimization and control– optical coating technologies The school[…]

It’s time to look back on our achievements and highlights from the first 12 months of the THRILL project! Since the start of THRILL, we have already seen some encouraging early results, from promising tests and experiments to our first publication and the end-user workshop in October. All work[…]

On 27 and 28 February, a workshop to kick-off Task 5.4 of the THRILL project brought together laser operators and experts from ELI beamlines, GSI, HIJ, HZDR and LULI to share their approaches to laser-operations data acquisition and laser control. The workshop’s participants also took the opportunity to discuss[…]

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, as coordinator of the THRILL project, welcomes three new members to the project: the Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC (ELI-ERIC), the University of Rochester and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Thanks to an amendment to the project, which the European Commission validated recently, the[…]

From 24 to 27 October, 2023, the beautiful setting of Wasem’s Engelthal Monastery in Ingelheim (Germany) became a hub of innovation and collaboration for the high-energy laser community. The four days were a great opportunity to review the progress made in each work package and task, and to exchange[…]

The THRILL (Technology for High-Repetition-rate Intense Laser Laboratories) project received more than ten million euro of funding in the framework of the European Union’s HORIZON EUROPE program. The project aims at providing new designs and high-performance components for high-energy high-repetition-rate lasers, enabling the technical readiness level required to specify[…]
