Research Teams

Extreme Plasma Physics Team

Extreme Plasma Physics team combines theory and massively parallel simulations to address the highly nonlinear scenarios associated with extreme conditions in the laboratory and in astrophysics involving relativistic flows or high intensity electromagnetic fields. We use the largest supercomputers in the World to address several longstanding scientific questions.

X-GoLP Team

X-GoLP team develops and makes use of state-of-the-art ultrafast and high intensity lasers, both in local laboratories and at world-class facilities. The range of topics investigated covers the generation of novel sources of radiation from the mid-infrared to x-rays, particle acceleration, future laser technologies, and innovative techniques and devices for optical and photonics applications.
