The last decade has witnessed an explosion of activity in the development of novel radiation sources based on laser-plasma interactions (LPI), fueled by the wide availability of high-power lasers, with many promising applications. This workshop aims to bring together theorists and experimentalists working across a wide range of topics, including:
· Attosecond pulse sources from LPI
· X-ray and X-FEL sources from LPI
· Pump-probe experiments and applications of LPI sources
· Filamentation and THz generation
· γ-ray sources and QED processes
· Parametric amplification of short pulses
· Thomson and Compton sources
