Abstract
As major milestone of commissioning phase of beam transport section for the 10 PetaWatts beamlines of Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) located in Magurele (Romania), we have propagated the beam throughout the beam transport section and measured its energy as well as its pulse duration after compression at full energy and full aperture. 10 consecutive laser pulses have been shot at a repetition rate of 1 shot per minute with compressed pulse energy ranging between 241 and 246 Joules while pulse duration has been measured at 23 fs leading to the first ever operation above 10 PetaWatts peak power
