 
| 2010 HPLA Call for Abstracts
Abstracts received after October 8, 2009, if accepted, will be automatically placed in the poster session. No additional oral presentations can be considered because the agenda is full.
The goal of the 8th International High-Power Laser Ablation Conference is to bring together leading specialists in laser-materials interaction physics and laser science in a collegial atmosphere in which a wide array of specialists who might not otherwise meet can talk and learn from each other. All sessions are plenary, affording all attendees the opportunity to hear all oral presentations. Because there is only time in our four-day format for a limited number of forefront oral papers, many papers will be presented in a poster format at one of the evening poster sessions. These poster sessions take place on Monday and Tuesday evenings and will be, as in the past, a focus for the exchange of new ideas. Poster presentations will be mounted on standard-sized easels and be located in the exhibit hall.
The 2010 HPLA Conference will address all aspects of the interaction of lasers with condensed matter, from fundamental theory and simulations to material processing. The range of topics will be diverse, but the focus within each will be on fundamental results. Therefore, attendees can expect to learn about the very latest results at a depth usually reserved for specialist conferences, but in a broader range tied together by the physical phenomenon of high power laser ablation.
Heavy emphasis will be placed on the physics involved in the laser-surface interaction to avoid missing the grand connections among these interesting applications. Groundbreaking physics will be discussed for its own sake. Applications discussed will range from high-tech material processing to space propulsion to inertial confinement fusion. An update will be provided on the status of the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Two or three sessions will be devoted to advances in the specific types of lasers (diode, solid state, iodine, etc.) which are of use in these applications. |
