Recreate the extremes of the universe on Earth
Research topic: Experimental Astrophysics with lasers
The environment we live in, on the surface of the Earth, is very peculiar compared to the rest of the Universe. Nevertheless we are trying to understand astrouphysical phenomena over a wide parameter range, which have never took place on Earth before, by experimental observations and theory. Using high-intensity lasers is possible to recreate in the laboratory the extreme states of matter present in the Universe. If we could create a small fragment of the universe in a vacuum chamber even just for a fraction of time, wouldn’t that be exciting? Why don’t you enjoy this excitement with us!
Up to now we have been conducting research focused at the development of new diagnostic for fusion plasmas, but now we would like to devise a way to create the Universe at hour hands reach.
