A reduced-energy line of LS1, the most powerful laser in Canada. It delivers up to 150 TW of peak power at 2.5 Hz. With a peak power of 130 TW on target, the beam powers several endstations dedicated to laser-plasma interactions, notably the electron acceleration line (“Laser Wakefield Acceleration”) and the ion acceleration line (“Target Normal Sheath Acceleration”). It also enables the generation of ultrashort secondary radiation (X-rays, gamma rays, neutrons, etc.) with unique properties. For the full 750 TW output, see LS1.
