EPS 2021 SATELLITE MEETING 

 

HIgh-Field laser-plasma Interaction (HIFI) & LAser-driven Particle and Radiation Sources for Application (LASA) 

Organised by:

  • The Centro de Laseres Pulsados  (CLPU) 
  • The Laser-Plasma Chair @ University of Salamanca (LaPlas)

ABSTRACT

The development of of major high-power laser facilities in Europe and around the world has opened new possibilities for investigation in High-field physics and applied physics with emphasis on possible civil applications.    

HIFI: New regimes of matter under extreme conditions, encompassing ultra relativistic plasma physics and quantum electrodynamics will be explored. This meeting brings together scientists with interest in the theory, simulation and experimental exploration of light-matter interactions in these regimes. Topics include: latest progress in high-field experiments at currently existing laser facilities; the application of fundamental theories such as QED to light-matter interactions; developments in numerical simulations and phenomenology

LASA: Laser-driven particle and radiation sources are promising for  many scientific and technical applications. Improving the characteristics and reproducibility of these sources are key aspects for their competitiveness in the scientific community, medicine and industry. The forum will provide an opportunity for groups working on different short-pulse laser facilities in Europe and abroad to exchange the results, methodology and coordinate their plans.
