DESCRIPTION:Title: Taking high-energy lasers to the next level in THRILL 
 – a joint European effortSpeakers: Zsuzsanna Major\, Bernhard Zielbauer 
 and Yannik Zobus  (GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung\, Darms
 tadt\, Germany)Date: Wednesday\, 09 December 2026\, 16:00 Central European
  Time (CET) State-of-the-art high-energy (kJ-class) lasers are used as the
  main drivers in many different areas of research\, such as the investigat
 ion of shock-driven warm-dense matter\, dynamic compression of materials\,
  laboratory astrophysics\, or more recently\, laser-driven fusion. However
 \, one of their most important limitations is the low repetition rate of a
  few shots per day. The EU-funded THRILL project (Technology for High-Repe
 tition-Rate Intense Laser Laboratories) has identified the technological b
 ottlenecks of such high-energy lasers with the goal to overcome them and l
 ead to the next generation of high-energy laser systems\, in particular to
  be used in combination with the large-scale European research facilities 
 Eu-XFEL and FAIR.  With the THRILL project nearing its end\, we will pres
 ent some of the key achievements within the project\, with the emphasis on
  the contribution of GSI. After a general review of the project and the co
 nsortium given by Zsuzsanna Major\, the progress in actively cooled high-e
 nergy laser amplification will be presented by Bernhard Zielbauer. Yannik 
 Zobus will present the OPOSSUM (OPen-source Optics Simulation System and U
 nified Modeler) simulation framework developed in THRILL\, which allows fo
 r a holistic description of high-energy laser systems and will discuss the
  prospects of this framework beyond the THRILL project.
