25 Top research applications which will improve community life The city of Măgurele hosts, besides the ELI-NP centre, other six research institutes and the Faculty of Physics of the University of Bucharest, active in the following felds: physics and nuclear engineering, lasers, plasma and radiation, space sciences and material physics. A wide range of possible applications will be explored by the international community of users and will serve a wide range of research topics which will fnd applicability in fundamental research (atomic nucleus, astrophysics, quantum electrodynamics), security and terrorism prevention (research on detection of special materials of strategic interest, ionizing radiation imaging), ecology and environmental (research on new radioactive waste diagnosis and processing methods), materials science and engineering (efects of intense radiation felds on materials), nuclear medicine and life sciences (use of accelerated particle beams supported by lasers in hadrontherapy, new medical imaging techniques), radiopharmaceuticals (methods to produce new types of radioisotopes) and high-tech industry. with the contribution of UAUIM
