Abstract

The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) [1] will be the first research infrastructure dedicated to the fundamental study of laser-matter interaction in the ultra-relativistic regime. It provides the link between high-field science and ultrafast science. It further offers a few gigantic steps towards connecting optics, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, medicine and nuclear engineering, only to name a few.
