Dear Colleagues, Time is flying and as most of you may have heard that ELI-Beamlines were given the final funding signature of the European commission. This is a very important step but also puts pressure towards the realization of the project due to the tight timelines in the EC funding schemes.
This is why we would like to gather for the second ELI-Beamlines Scientific Challenges, joint with the 2nd ISAC meeting in Prague October 5th and 6th this year. Therefore we kindly ask you to mark this date in your calendar. It would be great if you would be able to come to Prague at this time to discuss the next steps of development of ELI-Beamlines, ELI-delivery efforts and the further sharpening and adjustments of the experimental and theoretical programs. Of course the latest developments in your research and facility programs are of outmost interests to us and the community. The following topics are considered for discussions: 1. High power (TW-PW) lasers towards higher repetition rates 2. X-ray sources generated by reprated ultrafast high intensity lasers 3. Particle acceleration by high intensity lasers 4. Applications in molecular, biomedical, and material sciences 5. Laser plasma and high-energy-density physics 6. High-field physics and theory 7. Computation and numerical approaches for ultra-intense laser matter interactions Yours sincerely, Georg Korn and Bedrich Rus |
