多太瓦激光系统，相对论和非线性跨学科科学的太瓦装置，最近已安装在贝尔法斯特女王大学等离子体物理中心。该系统将支持广泛的科学计划，其中包括激光驱动粒子加速，X射线激光和高能量密度物理实验。在这里，我们提出了一个概述的激光系统，以及离子加速和X射线激光器，主要是进行新设备的性能测试的初步调查的结果。我们还讨论了一些可能的实验，利用系统的灵活性，提供泵探测能力。
The multi-Terawatt laser system, terawatt apparatus for relativistic and nonlinear interdisciplinary science, has been recently installed in the Centre for Plasma Physics at the Queen's University of Belfast. The system will support a wide ranging science program, which will include laser-driven particle acceleration, X-ray lasers, and high energy density physics experiments. Here we present an overview of the laser system as well as the results of preliminary investigations on ion acceleration and X-ray lasers, mainly carried out as performance tests for the new apparatus. We also discuss some possible experiments that exploit the flexibility of the system in delivering pump-probe capability.
