ELI ALPS Facility
Address:
Wolfgang Sandner utca 3.
6728 Szeged
Hungary
The primary mission of the ELI ALPS research facility in Szeged, Hungary is to provide laser and secondary light and particle sources in the form of ultrashort bursts with high repetition rates. Energetic coherent light pulses of few optical cycles are available from the terahertz (1012 Hz) to the X-ray (1018 — 1019 Hz) frequency range. The parallel existence of these secondary sources and state-of-the-art lasers including PW-class lasers within the same facility, offers unique time-resolved investigation possibilities for both nonrelativistic and relativistic interaction of light with all four phases of matter.
The ELI ALPS building complex has been designed to meet the highest demands of experimental scientific research whilst minimising the impact on the local environment. The building supersedes current building and safety regulations whilst incorporating numerous cutting-edge architectural and building development solutions to ensure that the best framework exists to facilitate scientific research.
The venue is easily accessible by car, from route 5 (only some kilometres away from the city centre of Szeged)
