Petawatt High Energy Laser for Heavy Ion Experiments, Research laser facility at GSI Helmholtz Centre, Darmstadt, Germany
The PHELIX laser system operates with a power output of one petawatt, utilizing specialized glass amplifiers with a 28-centimeter aperture for pulse enhancement.
The facility began operations in 2006, with initial experiments combining laser technology and ion beams from the UNILAC accelerator commencing in 2008.
Scientists from multiple nations collaborate at PHELIX to advance research in nuclear physics, plasma physics, and fundamental particle interactions.
The adaptive optics system enables the facility to increase experimental frequency from one test every two hours to one test per hour.
PHELIX combines high-energy laser technology with heavy ion acceleration capabilities, making it a specialized research center in Europe.
