Abstract

The L4n is a nanosecond-kilojoule laser beamline that delivers temporally shapeable nanosecond pulses at a maximum energy of 1.2 kJ. It was recently commissioned at ELI Beamlines and offers unique opportunities for high-pressure, high-energy-density physics, and laser-plasma interaction experiments, particularly due to its high repetition rate of up to 1 shot per minute. Compared to other kJ-class laser systems worldwide, which offer much lower shot rates, the L4n driven experiments will enable significant improvements in collecting data statistics. The results gathered during the first L4n commissioning campaigns, demonstrate the laser capability to deliver hundreds of joules every three minutes with excellent repeatability and clearly show its potential to make significant contributions to the field of high-energy density physics in the coming decades.
