The Shanghai Super-intense Ultrafast Laser Facility (SULF) with a ten PW laser will be
completed in the end of 2018. The research platform for Ultrafast Sub-atomic Physics at SULF
will be focused on the production of energetic beams and their applications. Laser driven proton
acceleration with solid and gas targets is planned. [1] Protons will be polarized and accelerated in
a special way. Laser driven electrons will be used to generate positron beams [2] and intense
gamma rays, especially in the near QED regime. Nuclear physics by using laser driven protons
and gamma rays are considered.
The Station of Extreme Light (SEL) at Shanghai Coherent Light Facility (SCLF) has been
approved to be built. The 100 PW laser of SEL will not only be used for exploring vacuum
birefringence [3] and other vacuum QED effects with the help of the hard XFEL, but also
accelerate protons to more than 10GeV which can be used for anti-proton production. [4] Thanks
to the high production efficiency of gamma ray in the QED regime, nuclear photonics will be
one of the most important research fields. [5, 6]
