Politechnic University of Milan - the latest adjunct partner to LA³NET
The latest addition to LA³NET is the Polytechnic University of Milan who have joined as an adjunct partner and already participated in the network activities making a valuable contribution to the recent workshop on Novel Acceleration Techniques held at HZDR. The University’s Physics Department has much experience in the laser field and the Department of Energy hosts other relevant expertise such as solid state physics, surface science and plasma physics which are aimed at either the understanding of fundamental physical phenomena or the development of technological applications. The main focus is on synthesis and investigation of novel materials with energy applications such as solar cells and nuclear engineering currently being investigated. In this frame, research on the interaction of ultraintense laser beams with matter, with particular relevance to novel laser-based ion acceleration schemes, is also carried out. More information…
