Course #1 titled Interaction of X Rays with Matter will be taught by Stefan Hau-Riege.
Dates August 27, 29, and 31 and September 4, 5, and 7 (September 3 is a holiday in the US)
Time: 12:00-1:00 PDT

In this course, we will provide an overview of the interaction of x rays with matter, ranging from low-intensity continuous-wave to high-intensity short-pulse x-ray radiation as produced by x-ray free-electron lasers. We will discuss the relevant physical processes, including the interaction of the x-ray field with electrons, the coupling of the electrons to the ions, and the x-ray induced microscopic and macroscopic changes in materials. As far as time allows, a full quantum mechanical description of the interaction of radiation with matter will be given. Several applications taken from the recent scientific literature will be discussed.

Course #2 titled Introduction to High-Energy-Density Laser-Plasma Experiments and Diagnostics, will be taught by Hui-Chen
Dates September 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21
Time: 12:00-1:00 PDT

This two-week short course surveys the basics of laboratory high-energy-density (HED) plasmas produced by energetic lasers, and principles of several diagnostic instruments used to measure their properties. The course is intended for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students interested in pursuing graduate studies in HED physics, and for scientists trained in related fields who seek a broad knowledge of HED physics. At the end of the course, students are expected to be familiar with the field and able to begin studying individual topics in detail, with a holistic understanding of the key principles and relationships linking the various sub-disciplines.
