Abstract
The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) Pan-European facility initiative represents a major step forward in quest for extreme electromagnetic fields. Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) is one of the three pillars of the ELI facility, that aims to use extreme electromagnetic fields for nuclear physics and quantum electrodynamics research. At ELI-NP, high-power lasers together with a very brilliant gamma beam are the main research tools. Their targeted operational parameters are described. The emerging experimental program in the field of nuclear physics of the facility is reported. The different instruments which are considered to operate in the ELI-NP experimental halls are discussed, with an emphasis on the instrumentation which is designed for nuclear structure, reactions and astrophysics research.
