US-Japan Workshop on High-Intensity Laser-Matter Interactions

Invitation Only

18 – 19 December 2017

General Atomics Headquarters, San Diego, CA

This is a two-day US-Japan workshop focused on high-intensity laser-matter interactions. Primary topics of interest include ion and electron acceleration. High field physics aspects will also be covered. 

The workshop will include extended discussion sections. The aims of the discussion are to identify critical issues of laser-plasma interactions and to suggest possible directions for future research. 

Our goal is to promote a long-lasting collaboration between the US and Japanese scientific communities in the area of laser-matter interactions. 

The workshop is generously sponsored by General Atomics and will include a tour of their target fabrication facility. 

 

Workshop Organizers: 

Alex Arefiev (UCSD, USA)
Mingsheng Wei (GA, USA)
Masakatsu Murakami [村上匡且] (ILE, Japan)

Logistics

Presentations

  • Each presenter has a 25 minute slot, which implies about 20 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions. We fully rely on your cooperation to stay on schedule.
