Description
ELI Beamlines is the Czech Republic based pillar of the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), which benefits from the latest technical development in new generation laser technology to produce high intensity ultra-short laser pulses. ELI Beamlines aims at the development of ultra-short high brilliance X-rays sources and acceleration of particle beams.
After many years of preparatory work, ELI Beamlines has entered its commissioning phase. This presentation provides an update on the status of the facility with focus on measures implemented to cover simultaneously the main hazards involved in the first operations, namely ionizing and non-ionizing (laser) radiations. Especially, technical solutions and considerations to ensure ionizing radiation protection will be discussed.
