HILAS - a topical meeting highlighting the dramatic recent advances in research on high field optical science and high intensity sources.

The aim of the High-Intensity Sources and High-Field Phenomena meeting is to assemble a multi disciplinary group of participants to present and exchange breakthrough ideas relating to the physics and applications of high field sources, and related developments in high intensity lasers and related technology.

The conference topics include both fundamental science and applications of high field phenomena, as well as technical aspects related to source development. The latest research results in terawatt/petawatt lasers, amplification of a few cycle pulses, laser fusion technologies, EUV and X-ray sources based on lasers, plasmas in ultra high fields, advances in attosecond science and relativistic nonlinear phenomena are among the topics to be discussed.

High quality experimental and theoretical contributions are solicited in any topical area related to the coverage of the conference, including the following:

  • High-peak power lasers and high-intensity laser-matter interactions
  • Recent progress in terawatt to petawatt lasers and the amplification of few cycle pulses
  • Laser technology for fusion and laser based EUV and X-ray sources
  • Strong field laser science including interactions with atoms, molecules, clusters, and plasmas
  • Advances in attosecond science
  • High harmonic generation, high-field rescattering physics, relativistic nonlinear phenomena, intense pulse propagation
  • Plasmas in ultrahigh fields, and laser based particle acceleration
