Mini-workshop on laser-plasma interactions and applications
On Thursday 8th of February, GoLP will host a mini-workshop (in Abreu Faro, at IST) on laser-plasma interactions and applications.
The mini-workshop program is the following:
GoLP Mini-workshop on ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions: from plasma-accelerators to compact light sources (and more…)
Ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions emerge when ultra-intense laser pulses (I>10^18 W/cm^2) interact with plasma. At these intensities, the collective plasma response results in structures suitable for applications ranging from compact accelerators to light sources. This mini-workshop will review key developments in this field combining experimental, theoretical and computational advances.
15:00 – Development and applications of laser-plasma acceleration,
Olle Lundh, Lund University (Sweden)
15:30 – Direct laser acceleration with the next generation of lasers,
Marija Vranic, Instituto Superior Técnico (Portugal)
16:00 – PIC simulation for the understanding of fundamental plasma process and particle/photon sources,
Xavier Davoine, CEA (France)
16:30 – Coffee break
Don’t miss it!
