Enabling researchers worldwide to access our capabilities through the LaserNetUS network.

Welcome to the Jupiter Laser Facility (JLF) User Hub, where current and prospective users can come to find resources and information in preparation for their experiment at the facility.

At JLF, users are allotted a generous four weeks to run an experimental campaign, which includes time for assembly, troubleshooting, and data collection. This gives users the opportunity to explore new research, develop new platforms, work out technical challenges, and perfect their experiments. Many of these experiments are often implemented later on at larger facilities like LLNL’s National Ignition Facility or the University of Rochester’s OMEGA Laser Facility.

Andrew Longman and Danny Attiyah at the Jupiter Laser Facility.

LLNL postdoctoral researcher Andrew Longman and intern Danny Attiyah at JLF, where Attiyah conducted experiments to generate and measure magnetic fields driven by twisted laser beams.

JLF user statistics:

  • Two-thirds of JLF users are external.
  • Users come from LLNL, 63+ universities, and 24+ laboratories and non-academic institutions.
  • Over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles have acknowledged JLF due to research conducted on our laser platforms.
  • Over 200 granted PhDs include thesis work performed at JLF, with many of these PhD recipients later joining LLNL as postdoctoral researchers and staying in the plasma physics community.
