The Centre for Plasma Physics is internationally leading in the exploitation of intense lasers and laser driven ultrafast radiation sources. This platform grant will allow strategic exploitation of the developments seeded in the previous, highly successful platform grant. In particular, the advent of ultrafast laser driven radiation sources ranging from x-rays to particle beams allows the dynamics of the natural world at the shortest timescales and spatially on the nanoscale to be investigated. This is the core theme of this platform grant, which follows on from the success in these areas achieved during the first platform grant. Emerging from this is the development of the worlds most powerful few-cycle (<10fs) laser - the TARANIS-X project. These high-energy, extremely short pulses are a key extension to the TARANIS facility at QUB and will enable cutting edge science.The over-arching strategic goal of this proposal is to fully exploit the new pathways that have been enabled by laser driven radiation sources and to maximize the scientific impact of the recently funded TARANIS-X project (EPSRC Experimental Equipment Call) by fully exploiting the synergies available through close integration of academic staff under the auspices of the proposed NanoRad Platform Grant.

等离子体物理中心在利用强激光和激光驱动的超快辐射源方面处于国际领先地位。这一平台赠款将允许战略性地利用在以前非常成功的平台赠款中播种的发展。特别是，从X射线到粒子束的超快激光驱动辐射源的出现允许在最短的时间尺度上和空间上研究自然世界的动态。这是该平台赠款的核心主题，这是第一次平台赠款期间在这些领域取得成功的延续。由此产生的是世界上最强大的几周期（<10 fs）激光器的发展-TARANIS-X项目。这些高能量、超短脉冲是对位于昆士兰大学的“塔拉尼斯”计划的一个关键性扩展，它将使尖端科学成为可能。该计划的首要战略目标是充分利用激光驱动辐射源所实现的新途径，并使最近资助的“塔拉尼斯-X”计划的科学影响最大化（EPSRC实验设备呼叫）通过充分利用协同效应，通过在拟议的NanoRad平台赠款的主持下密切整合学术人员。
