Its highest ever intensity of lasers, as well as high fluence, high power, and/or ultrafast optical characteristics carve out new territories of discovery, ranging from attosecond science to photonuclear science, laser acceleration and associated beams, and high field science (Four Pillars of ELI). Its applications span from medicine, biology, engineering, energy, chemistry, physics, and fundamental understanding of the Universe. The relativistic optics that intense lasers have begun exploring may be extended into a new regime of ultra\u2010relativistic regime, where even protons fly relativistically in the optical fields. ELI provides the highest intensity to date such that photon fields begin to feel even the texture of vacuum. This is a singular appeal of ELI with its relatively modest infrastructure (compared to the contemporary largest scientific infrastructures), yet provides an exceptional avenue along which the 21st Century science and society need to answer the toughest questions. The intensity frontier simultaneously brings in the energy horizon (TeV and PeV) as well as temporal frontier (attoseconds and zeptoseconds). It also turns over optics of atoms and molecules into that of nuclei with the ability to produce monoenergetic collimated \u03b3\u2010ray photons. As such, the ELI concept acutely demands an effort to encompass and integrate its Four Pillars.", "doi": "10.1063/1.3426041", "isbn": "978-0-7354-0771-8", "publisher": "American Institute of Physics", "place_of_publication": "Melville, NY", "publication_date": "2010-04-16", "pages": "11-35" }, { "id": "authors:stvb9-b8j75", "collection": "authors", "collection_id": "stvb9-b8j75", "cite_using_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20111003-143522581", "type": "book_section", "title": "First generation interferometers", "book_title": "Astrophysical sources for ground-based gravitational wave detectors", "author": [ { "family_name": "Barish", "given_name": "Barry C.", "clpid": "Barish-B-C" } ], "contributor": [ { "family_name": "Centrella", "given_name": "Joan M.", "clpid": "Centrella-J-M" } ], "abstract": "The status and plans for the first generation long baseline suspended mass interferometers TAMA, GEO, LIGO and Virgo are presented, as well as the expected performances.", "doi": "10.1063/1.1387295", "isbn": "0-7354-0014-8", "publisher": "American Institute of Physics", "place_of_publication": "Melville, Ny", "publication_date": "2001-06-22", "pages": "3-14" }, { "id": "authors:p76jt-yye61", "collection": "authors", "collection_id": "p76jt-yye61", "cite_using_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20200212-152223047", "type": "book_section", "title": "Gravitational Waves", "book_title": "Cosmic Radiations: From Astronomy to Particle Physics", "author": [ { "family_name": "Barish", "given_name": "Barry C.", "clpid": "Barish-B-C" } ], "contributor": [ { "family_name": "Giacomelli", "given_name": "Giorgio", "clpid": "Giacomelli-G" }, { "family_name": "Spurio", "given_name": "Maurizio", "clpid": "Spurio-M" }, { "family_name": "Derkaoui", "given_name": "Jamal Eddine", "clpid": "Derkaoui-J-E" } ], "abstract": "The effort to develop suspended mass interferometers for gravitational wave detection has lead to an ambitious new set of long baseline interferometers that will soon become operational.
