Book of poster abstracts now available here.
Closing reception has been added to the program the evening of 10/2.
October 1-2, 2013
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, USA
This workshop will bring together the international science community to discuss the unique physics opportunities enabled by the new 200 TW laser at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Coupling this laser to the world-class LCLS x-ray beam at the recently commissioned Matter in Extreme Condition (MEC) instrument will allow exquisite pump-probe experiments to address the most important physics questions of high-power laser plasma interactions physics in areas of high-energy density physics, laboratory astrophysics, laser-particle acceleration, and non-linear optical science.
The workshop will highlight recent results from MEC, describe the scientific opportunities for laser experiments at 200 TW and PW power and present and discuss the user access policy for performing laser experiments at MEC.
