The Helmholtz Institute Jena ( HI-Jena ) is a branch of the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research , which was founded on June 25, 2009 and is located on the campus of the Friedrich Schiller University (FSU) in Jena. The task of the HI-Jena is to combine the competencies of the FSU in the fields of high-performance laser physics and X-ray spectroscopy with the expertise in the field of accelerator, laser and X-ray technology of the Helmholtz Centers German Electron Synchrotron , GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research and Helmholtz Center Dresden- Rossendorf .
The research profile is shaped by the physics at the interface between conventional accelerator technology and the rapidly developing field of laser-induced particle acceleration (e.g. Kielfeld accelerator ). The HI-Jena is involved in the further development of these accelerator concepts as well as in the production and diagnosis of intense photon and particle beams and their interactions with matter. Accordingly, the work focuses on the development of high-power lasers, novel particle accelerator concepts using lasers, X-ray spectroscopy and strong-field quantum electrodynamics, as well as the physics of hot, dense plasmas. In addition, the HI-Jena should make important contributions to the further development of the research facilities at the Helmholtz Center GSI, in particular the future project FAIR ( Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research ), and at DESY with the free electron laser (FEL) photon sources FLASH and XFEL ( European XFEL ).
In cooperation with the FSU Jena, a fully diode-pumped laser system of the high-energy petawatt class (HEPW) is being implemented in the HI-Jena building with the POLARIS . The first test measurements with the laser system have been taking place since 2008, although pulse strengths of 1 PW could not yet be achieved due to the lack of the last amplifier stage.
In July 2012, has been Research Training Research School of Advanced Photon Science (RS-APS) at HI-Jena furnished. The RS-APS supports the doctoral projects of more than 40 doctoral students at HI-Jena and offers a structured doctoral program in cooperation with the institutions of the FSU Jena and the Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research (HGS-HIRe).
