Matter in Super-Intense Laser Fields

Objective

The aim of this proposal is to request support for two EuroConferences devoted to new advances in the study of the interaction of matter with extremely intense laser light. Indeed, the recent development of powerful femtosecond lasers makes it now possible to achieve enormous intensities, of the order of 10, 19 W/cm². In these conditions, the electric field of light is stronger than that present inside the atoms and causes the electrons to move at velocities very close to the speed of light. This leads to a variety of new phenomena, many of which are not yet well understood.

The technology is evolving rapidly and new experiments are being performed, creating a need for a new and deeper theoretical interpretation. European research is holding the world leadership in this fast growing area of research. However, at the same time, the European groups need co-ordination and better opportunities to meet for discussion. In view of this, the two proposed conferences would be both timely and important. The two conferences are complementary, being focused respectively on atomic and molecular systems and plasmas, as well as coherent with each other, as they address the same kind of physical questions in different systems. They will bring together theorists and experimentalists in high-level discussions.
