Nominator's project description

Professor Antici is internationally renowned for his pioneering work in relativistic laser–plasma interaction, in particular on laser–ion acceleration. In recent years, he has been working on uniting laser–plasma acceleration with material science, biochemistry and cultural heritage. In Germany, he will pursue interdisciplinary applications of proton and radiation bursts.
