Abstract: The Zettawatt Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System (ZEUS) is a National Science Foundation-funded user facility located in the Gerard Mourou Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at Michigan which has just completed its first year of operations. Next year the laser system will be operating at full power (3-Petawatts). This presentation will describe the  different capabilities of the facility and current laser operations  as well as results of ongoing research including laser wakefield acceleration of multi-GeV electron beams and x-ray generation.
