First LaserNetUS Experiment at LLE

2019:

As part of the new LaserNetUS program to provide users increased access to unique high-intensity laser facilities, scientists from Johns Hopkins University, University of Michigan, and Los Alamos National Laboratory performed the program’s first experiments using the OMEGA EP Laser System on 20 November 2019. In addition to the University of Rochester, accessible network facilities include The University of Texas at Austin, The Ohio State University, Colorado State University, University of Michigan, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, SLAC, Berkeley Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Canada’s Université du Québec. LaserNetUS was established by DOE’s Office of Fusion Energy Sciences in response to the 2018 National Academy of Sciences’ Report with regard to the U.S. strategy in high-intensity laser research.
