U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Generation and Application of Hot Dense Laser Plasma / Honolulu, Hawaii / May 1988

该奖项将支持美国科学家参加由伊利诺伊大学George Miley教授和日本大阪大学Sadao Nakai教授联合举办的“热致密激光等离子体的产生和应用”研讨会。美国和日本的参加者将于1988年5月在夏威夷的檀香山会晤。研讨会将集中讨论激光产生等离子体的最新研究进展。讨论的主题将包括：激光等离子体相互作用；激光等离子体中的能量输运和辐射原子过程高亮度x射线源；以及激光等离子体的各种技术应用，如惯性约束聚变和粒子加速。这种独特的高温、高密度等离子体是用强大的激光产生的，它代表了一种新的物质体系，正在美国和日本进行深入的研究。本次研讨会将是自1972年以来根据美日合作科学计划就这一主题举行的系列研讨会中的第四次。1988年研讨会议程强调激光等离子体在工业加工中的潜在新应用。该研讨会将提供一个宝贵的论坛，以评估该领域的最新技术，吸引相对较新的研究人员，并为未来的合作研究指明方向。

This award will support the participation of U.S. scientists in a seminar on the "Generation and Application of Hot Dense Laser Plasma," organised jointly by Professor George Miley of the University of Illinois and Professor Sadao Nakai of Osaka University, Japan. United States and Japanese participants will meet in Honolulu, Hawaii during May 1988. The seminar will focus on recent research developments in laser-produced plasmas. Topics for discussion will include: laser-plasma interactions; energy transport and radiation-atomic processes in laser produced plasmas; high brightness x-ray sources; and various technical applications of laser produced plasmas such as inertial confinement fusion and particle acceleration. The unique high-temperature, high density plasmas which are produced using powerful lasers represent a new regime of matter that is receiving intense research in both the U.S. and Japan. This seminar will be the fourth in a series that have been held on this general topic under the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program, beginning in 1972. The 1988 seminar agenda emphasizes the potential new applications of laser plasmas in industrial processing. The seminar will provide a valuable forum for assessing the state-of-the-art in the field, for immersing relatively new investigators, and for charting directions for future collaborative research.
