OBJECTIVE

Recently, significant progress in high-power laser technology extends the research field of high-energy density science to an academic expanse, therefore, increasing number of International and interdisciplinary collaborations is required. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the U.S.A. has been continuing critical development in the field, targeting fusion ignition together with offering significant milestones for the basic science research. The LFEX petawatt laser of Osaka University is going to start full operation with 4 beams and it is expected vigorous uses for domestic and overseas users as the Joint Usage/ Joint Research Center. Moreover as ultra-intense lasers, the PULSER laser of Korean advanced Photonics Research Institute (APRI/GIST) works at 2 petawatt and the J-KAREN laser of Kansai Photon Science Institute is being up-graded. Many research themes using nano-second kilojoule lasers, require the increase in repetition and machine time to expand experimental parameters and to improve the accuracy of their experimental results. Aggrandizement of intensity is emphasized in the high-field science investigation to reach the radiation-dominated region and beyond. In this situation, we recognize it is quite useful to have a conference which promotes international and interdisciplinary collaborations in the scientific researches using high-power lasers, and to overview the present status and future prospects of relevant fields. Thus, we propose to have an annual international conference for the laser energetics. he goal of this conference in each field is to discuss a definite theme together with overseas distinguished scientists with experiences on large-scale lasers and to encourage the number of foremost participants with related fields. In addition, the critical workings of different research fields are concentrated on the point which stimulate the expansion of discussion of various themes of Laser Energetics with obtaining the leading experts related technical information and grope for the interdisciplinary fusion of research results.

 

 

 

SCOPE

The core theme this time is “Laboratory Astrophysics Using Intense Lasers”. Experimental research on collisionless shockwave and space plasma jets are intensively carried out all over the world, and an experiment on the NIF was initiated by the international team. Macroscopic projectiles accelerated up to 10 km/s by laser ablation have been utilized to investigate the meteorite collision. A recent development in areas such as application of the laser driven quantum beams as diagnostic probes or as an activating energy source is opening another path to the cosmic nuclear synthesis and astroparticle physics. Intense magnetic field generated by high-power lasers also provides further progress with Plasma Astrophysics. Effective approaches for conventional Plasma Physics as well as High-Pressure Condensed Matter, and Particle Physics, and Nuclear Physics are expected. Versatile ideas in the context of “Laser astrophysics” are welcome. Papers on those related subjects are also welcome encouraging the interdisciplinary exchange.

The 1st Conference on Laser Energetics covers following topical fields:

Laser astrophysics

・Astrophysical plasma physics, planetary physics, asteroid impact, nuclear synthesis, pair plasma

Related physics and technology development

・Physics on Laser produced plasmas

・Relativistic plasma, non-equilibrium plasma

・Magento-hydrodynamic instability

・Laser driven quantum beams source(generation and applications)

 

 


FORMAT

Organized sessions will consist of invited oral presentations of 30 min. and contributed oral presentations of 15 min. duration including discussion. In addition to these regular oral sessions, poster presentation session will be planned to stimulate the discussion of the field. The auther(s) of papers will be informed of the size of bulletin board for displaying summary, figures, tables, etc., when selected as poster papers.
