~OMEGA EP <a href=“http://omegaep.lle.rochester.edu/[/url]”>http://omegaep.lle.rochester.edu/</a>
“A new laser, the OMEGA EP (extended performance) laser system, is a four-beam laser system that is scheduled to be completed in 2007. Along with the four NIF-like laser beams, it will consist of a new target chamber and a vacuum pulse compression chamber containing large-aperture pulse compression gratings. The laser will be housed inside the newest addition to the building, which was completed in 2005. When completed, the combination of the OMEGA and the OMEGA EP laser systems will allow the LLE to be the world’s only facility capable of fully integrated cryogenic fast-ignition experiments.”</p>

UR2010</p>
<p>Now u may be wondering what the HELL have i been doing to’ve amassed so much stuff? (no life?) possibly - I just got kinda obsessive after I realized that I didnt get into m top choices and I wanted to make sure that the university that i was going to was a top university, none of that 2nd rate crap. And it turns out it just may be - a top university. Hope this helps cure any doubts u guys may have about UR cuz it certainly helped me =)</p>
