WELCOME

We are pleased to announce the 15th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics (HEDLA), to be held April 20-24, 2026, at the Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan. This conference will be co-located with the International Conference on High Energy Density Science (HEDS) as a part of the Optics and Photonics International Congress (OPIC).
HEDLA is a topical conference series that started in 1996 and has run approximately every other year since then. The goal is to use or develop laboratory experiments to understand high-energy-density phenomena in the universe.
HEDS covers the high-energy-density sciences with high-power lasers and their applications.
The deadline for registration is December 22. The registration will be done through the OPIC web page. Details will be announced soon.
