Summary:
Laser-Plasma Interaction (LPI) at Ultra-high Intensities (UHI) is one of todays hot topics in plasma
physics. Around the globe, new laser facilities are being built opening new paths towards a wide
range of applications: laser-based particle acceleration, novel radiation sources, fast ignition for
inertial fusion, hadron-therapy, etc. To trigger and sustain such developments, a deep
understanding of LPI is necessary. This understanding relies on theoretical/analytical models as well
as on intensive realistic numerical simulations. It is the aim of this workshop to stimulate and
discuss the recent theoretical progress in this field.
Focus topics:
Laser-driven ion acceleration
Laser-driven electron acceleration
Laser facilities and related projects
Numerical development and new physics at ultra-high intensities
Applications of laser-plasma interactions at ultra-high intensities
