The research activity on the ABC facility is now restarting after a shut down of about one year. New<br />
calibrations of the laser outputs are on going. The scientific program is being revised in the light of a possible<br />
upgrade of the laser power or the pulse time shape. Digitization of the alignment and <strong>di</strong>agnostics sensor is<br />
under implementation.<br />
As a possible follow up of the ABC activity, the ABC team has designed a 200 J <strong>di</strong>ode pumped laser. Accor<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
to this preliminary study, a prototype sector of a <strong>di</strong>ode illuminating head has been designed and is presently<br />
under realisation. The first tests will be devoted to checking the emission spectrum of the <strong>di</strong>odes under<br />
operation, a de<strong>di</strong>cated fast time response spectrograph has been commissioned. A provisional cooling system<br />
for a 25–30 <strong>di</strong>ode brick has been designed and is now undergoing further investigation (fig. 5.1).<br />
