The plasma physics platform (P3) at the ELI Beamlines[1] facility in Prague, Czech Republic
is planned to be a versatile user facility for high energy density, warm dense matter, labora-
tory astrophysics and ultraintense laser-matter interaction experiments. The aluminum vacuum
chamber with a volume of about 50 m3 was recently commissioned to a vacuum of less than
10−6 mbar. The chamber is designed to accommodate a large aperture (63 cm x 63 cm) 10 PW
beam and multiple medium aperture PW level beams. Beam transport system for delivering the
L3 laser beam (Ti:Sa, 10 Hz, 1 PW) is expected to be commissioned by the end of this year.
This presentation will cover the details of commissioning the vacuum chamber.
