Project title: Quasi-classical Methods in Laser-Nucleus Interactions - Metode Cuazi-Clasice in Interactia Laser-Nucleus/QLASNUC
Funding agency : Institute of Atomic Physics , Romania
Project code: ELI-04

Objectives:

1. Numerical methods for solving time-dependent problems of nuclear excitation and nuclear decay in a strong laser field.

2. Excitation of electric and magnetic giant resonances by ultra-intense laser fields in nuclei accelerated at relativistic energies

3. Electron-nuclear coupling mediated by high-intensity laser fields

4. Quasi-classical approximation in laser-assisted nuclear emission processes
