SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk | Taking high-energy lasers to the next level in THRILL – a joint European effort\, 09 December 2026
DESCRIPTION:Title: Taking high-energy lasers to the next level in THRILL – a joint European effortSpeakers: Zsuzsanna Major\, Bernhard Zielbauer and Yannik Zobus  (GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung\, Darmstadt\, Germany)Date: Wednesday\, 09 December 2026\, 16:00 Central European Time (CET) \nState-of-the-art high-energy (kJ-class) lasers are used as the main drivers in many different areas of research\, such as the investigation of shock-driven warm-dense matter\, dynamic compression of materials\, laboratory astrophysics\, or more recently\, laser-driven fusion. However\, one of their most important limitations is the low repetition rate of a few shots per day. The EU-funded THRILL project (Technology for High-Repetition-Rate Intense Laser Laboratories) has identified the technological bottlenecks of such high-energy lasers with the goal to overcome them and lead to the next generation of high-energy laser systems\, in particular to be used in combination with the large-scale European research facilities Eu-XFEL and FAIR. \n With the THRILL project nearing its end\, we will present some of the key achievements within the project\, with the emphasis on the contribution of GSI. After a general review of the project and the consortium given by Zsuzsanna Major\, the progress in actively cooled high-energy laser amplification will be presented by Bernhard Zielbauer. Yannik Zobus will present the OPOSSUM (OPen-source Optics Simulation System and Unified Modeler) simulation framework developed in THRILL\, which allows for a holistic description of high-energy laser systems and will discuss the prospects of this framework beyond the THRILL project.   \n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here
