Joint experiments
Lasers4EU consists of laboratories not only operating laser installations but also conducting laser-based research at the forefront of science. These research activities lead to continuous improvements of the facilities themselves through well-designed upgrades and inspire users by demonstrating how to make the best use of the most up-to-date instruments; they have consequently a strong impact on the whole community.
As scientists at a facility providing access will not be eligible for accessing another access provider as part of the regular transnational access activities, joint experiments will thereforce reinforce the scientific collaborations between the Lasers4EU partners and, thanks to complementary expertise, carry out world-class innovative and ambitious curiosity-driven experiments, going well beyond the present “state-of-art.”
In addition, joint experiments are to implement standard procedures and instrument calibration through identical experiments conducted in a set of different labs and comparison of the recorded results. Once validated, the procedures (and the datasets) will be shared with the whole Consortium.
