High-Intensity Lasers and High-Field Phenomena (HILAS)
Addresses all aspects of strong field phenomena from the technology of high-intensity light sources to the physics of intense light-matter interaction.
The High-Intensity Lasers and High-Field Phenomena Topical Meeting (HILAS) aims to assemble a multidisciplinary community to present and exchange novel ideas and breakthrough achievements relating to the physics and technology of high field sources and high-intensity laser-matter interaction.
The meeting covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of strong-field phenomena. Among the topics to be discussed are the latest research results in terawatt/petawatt lasers, amplification of few-cycle pulses, laser fusion technologies, EUV and X-Ray sources based on lasers, high-intensity sources from the THz up to the X-Ray spectral range, plasmas in ultrahigh fields, advances in attosecond science and relativistic nonlinear phenomena.
