The recent technological progress of numerical and laser
facilities open a new physics at unprecedented levels of energy,
power and short pulse durations. In this connection, the present
workshop will cover a broad spectrum of physical areas in
laser-matter interaction, all dealing with nonlinear phenomena.
Topics of interest will be treated from their most fundamental
issues to their most recent applications. They will concern :
Nonlinear and extreme optics, including
ultrashort pulse propagation, novel compression techniques,
supercontinuum generation and high-order harmonic generation,
Laser-plasma physics, including nonlinear
dynamics of plasma waves, parametric instabilities, relativistic
plasmas at ultrahigh intensities, warm dense matter and laboratory
astrophysics,
Applied mathematics and theoretical physics
related to the above thematics.
A
particular attention will be paid to create contacts between
experimentalists, theoreticians and applied mathematicians. Young
researchers (PhD, post-doc students) are very much welcome and they
will have the opportunity to present their results.
