Overview
Creation of a national network of instrumental platforms for studying ultrafast dynamics in the femtosecond and attosecond regimes
Summary
The ULTRAFAST-LUMA Targeted Project aims to establish and maintain coordinated access for the entire national scientific community to ultrafast laser photoscience and laser nanofabrication platforms organized in a national network led by PEPR. This objective will be achieved by establishing a distributed ULTRAFAST-LUMA infrastructure, initially bringing together 7 high-level ultrafast laser and nanofabrication platforms relevant to the scientific challenges of LUMA. To ensure the success of this objective, ULTRAFAST-LUMA will contribute to the financing of the hosting costs (operation of the platforms and mission costs of the hosted scientists) and to the provision of unique and innovative equipment to strengthen the experimental offer of the research platforms in the fields of interest of LUMA.
