Description

We discuss the new development in very intense, brilliant gamma-rays and gamma-ray optics. This allows for a new high resolution spectroscopy in nuclear physics and many new applications like a very brilliant, intense neutron source or a very intense source of moderated positrons. Besides gamma-beams, we also discuss the use of the 10 PW lasers foreseen in ELI-NP producing very neutron rich isotopes close to the r-process path. The intense laser and gamma-beams may also be used in a search for new elementary particles and studying the index of refraction of the vacuum.
