Towards High-Field Experiments in Existing and Upcoming Laser Facilities

The Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields is a user consortium providing drivers for high-energy density and high-field science at the HED station of EuXFEL. This presentation will give an overview of the current implementation and commissioning results as well as future plans and exemplary science cases. In parallel, new exciting opportunities for high-field science are opening with the first user call at the ELI facilities. Here, we will discuss first results on Megatesla magnetic field generation in overdense plasmas. We will also discuss future plans to exploit the high intensities, up to 10 PW, to be delivered at ELI-NP.
