The International Workshop on Targets for Laser Fusion, taking place on 13th May 2025 in Rutherford, UK, is a one-day event dedicated to the latest trends in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) target design, fabrication and experimentation, with a focus on tailored solutions for highly demanding requirements. The workshop will explore cutting-edge developments in foam and […]
The 13th International Conference on Inertial Fusion Sciences and Applications (IFSA 2025) is happening in the beautiful city of Tours, France, from September 14th to 19th, 2025. This in-person gathering is a fantastic opportunity for scientists, engineers, and experts from universities, national labs, and private companies to come together and dive into the fascinating fields […]
Speaker: Jakub Cikhardt (Czech Technical University)The interaction of a focused high-power laser with matter results in the generation of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). In the case of terawatt and petawatt lasers, the intensity of the EMP is strong enough to interfere with diagnostic signals and may cause malfunction or distortion of electronic devices. Moreover, the […]
The Laserlab-Europe Expert Group on laser-generated electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) will be holding their regular workshop at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory this year. It will be a two day event, featuring oral and poster presentations and ending with a round table discussion. In experiments involving high power lasers, a significant portion of the incoming laser energy […]
The 21st Direct Drive and Fast Ignition Workshop (DDFIW) continues a series of meetings dedicated to inertial confinement fusion research in Europe. DDFIW provides a unique opportunity for European and overseas scientists working on theory, simulations, and experiments to present and discuss their latest results and future plans in an informal atmosphere. The meeting also […]
Structured materials have many applications in the physics of interaction with high-power lasers. On the one hand, micro-structured materials are used for inertial confinement fusion, particle acceleration, X-ray generation, study of the equations of state. Nano-structured materials, on the other hand, find many applications in particle acceleration physics with ultrashort lasers. This Workshop is intended […]
