Ends 10 Oct 2003
International Conference

International Workshop on
Ultrashort High-Energy Radiation and Matter
Villa Monastero, Varenna (Italy). October 7 – 10, 2003

ORGANIZED BY

  • “Piero Caldirola” International Centre for the Promotion of Science and International School of Plasma Physics, Milano, Italy
  • Università di Milano-Bicocca, Milano, Italy
Topics
  • The workshop is intended as a forum to discuss the latest experimental, theoretical and computational results related to the interaction of high energy radiation with matter. High energy is intended to mean soft x-ray and beyond, but important new results from visible systems will be incorporeted. The workshop will be interdisciplinary amongst scientists from many fields, including: plasma physics, x-ray physics and optics, solid state physics and material science; biology; quantum optics. Topics will include, among other subjects:
  • Understanding damage thresholds for x-ray interaction with matter
  • Developing ~ 5 keV x-ray sources to investigate damage
  • Developing ~ 100 keV Thomson sources for material studies
  • Developing short pulse (100 fs and less) x-ray diagnostics
  • Developing novel X-ray optics
  • Developing models for the response of biooogical samples to ultra intense, sub ps x-rays high energy radiation
