Conference at University College London, June 30th - July 2nd 2014
Ultra-Short and Intense Laser pulses offer the means to observe, control and probe multi-electron effects during ionization and break-up of strongly-driven atoms and molecules. Moreover, Free Electron Laser facilities is a route to delivering XUV and X-ray pulses with intensities orders of magnitude larger than those provided by conventional synchrotron radiation sources.
Ultra-fast and intense X-ray pulses open-up new horizons for probing and controlling the attosecond motion of inner-shell electrons in multi-photon multi-ionization processes.
This conference aims to bring together theorists from the FEL and Attosecond-Strong Field Science communities to discuss and present recent advances in theoretical techniques developed to tackle multi-electron effects in ionization of atoms and molecules.
Another goal of this meeting is to draw together theorists and experimentalists in order to identify the most interesting challenges that both communities will face in the future.
There are two main options for accommodation:
- staying in a local hotel or
- staying in a student hall
Note that the student halls closer to UCL are the Carr-Saunders hall, the Passfield Hall and, a bit further away, the Rosebery Hall.
Please book your accommodation early since summer is a very busy time in London.
