NSF funds multi-university effort to study extreme light
Douglass Schumacher, a professor in the Department of Physics, is part of a multi-university collaboration receiving a $4.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop the precision instruments and computer models needed to measure what the world's most powerful lasers can do. The program, titled Diagnostics for Extreme-LIGHT or DELIGHT, is dedicated to developing new techniques to characterize these lasers, recognized for importance by the 2018 and 2023 Nobel Prizes in Physics.
A $4.5 million National Science Foundation grant will fund a multi-university effort to build tools for measuring the world’s most powerful lasers, recreating conditions found inside stars and giant planets…
