The brief

The Central Laser Facility (CLF) is developing a new high-power laser system, Vulcan 20-20, to support cutting-edge research in fundamental physics.

The facility will enable experiments simulating extreme astrophysical conditions, particle acceleration, radiation generation, and fusion energy research.

These experiments will take place within a custom-built vacuum chamber designed to support high-power, high-energy laser interactions under controlled conditions.

The chamber must meet stringent vacuum, structural, and safety requirements to ensure reliable and safe operation.
