Lasers will play a key role in the development of future particle accelerators by increasing the achievable acceleration gradient significantly, thereby reducing the size and costs of the facility. This LA³NET Topical Workshop is focussed on techniques using lasers for particle acceleration. The workshop will cover the science and technology of novel acceleration schemes for ion and electron beams including:
- Laser-driven wakefield acceleration
- Dielectric laser acceleration
- Beam-driven wakefield acceleration
- Scientific, medical and industrial applications
Each topic area will consist of invited and contributed talks of 30 minutes duration. All participants in the workshop are invited to use the 'Submit a new abstract' link to upload their abstracts. There will also be a dedicated session to discuss future funding opportunities in view of joining all the above areas.
Registration deadline 18th September 2016.
Abstract submission deadline 18th September 2016.
This event will be sponsored by LA³NET and Laser Quantum.
