U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Physics of High Power Laser Matter Interactions/March 1992/Osaka, Japan

该奖项为六名美国人的参与提供支持 科学家们在一个关于“物理学”的美日联合研讨会上说， 高功率激光与物质的相互作用。 研讨会将 1992年3月9日至13日在日本大坂举行。 协办单位 是核工程系的乔治·麦莉教授 伊利诺伊大学和中井贞夫教授，研究所 激光工程，大坂大学，日本。 具体 研讨会讨论的主题包括（1）激光 等离子体相互作用;（2）辐射和原子过程， 能量输运;（3）高能物理及其应用 密度等离子体聚变，加速器，x射线激光和 工业过程。 这将是第五次研讨会， 这一主题可追溯到1972年，最后一次是在1988年举行的。 自那时以来，在以下方面出现了一些迅速的发展： 因此，举办另一次研讨会是及时的。 研讨会将集中讨论激光物理学 与各种介质的相互作用， 等离子 利用强大的激光，独特的高密度等离子体 可以生成。 许多基础研究正在 目的是为了了解 这些激光-等离子体相互作用和发展应用 用于激光产生的等离子体。 美国和日本 两个最先进的激光实验室设施， 世界和两国的研究人员已经做出了一些 对这个领域做出了非常重要的贡献。 研讨会 将允许来自几个研究小组的代表， 两国会晤并交换信息， 这将带来更广泛的研究合作。

This award provides support for the participation of six US scientists in a joint US-Japan seminar on the "Physics of High Power Laser Matter Interactions". The seminar will be held on March 9-13, 1992 in Osaka, Japan. The co-organizers are Professor George Miley, Department of Nuclear Engineering, University of Illinois and Professor Sadao Nakai, Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, Japan. Specific topics to be discussed at the seminar include (1) laser plasma interactions; (2) radiation and atomic processes and energy transport; and (3) physics and applications of high density plasmas to fusion, accelerator, x-ray lasers and industrial processes. This will be the fifth seminar on this topic dating back to 1972, the last being held in 1988. Since then there have been a number of rapid developments in the field and it is therefore timely to hold another seminar. The seminar will concentrate upon the physics of laser interaction with various media ranging from solids to plasmas. Using powerful lasers, unique high-density plasmas can be generated. Much fundamental research is being undertaken aimed at understanding the processes involved in these laser-plasma interactions and at developing applications for laser produced plasmas. The United States and Japan have two of the most advanced laser laboratory facilities in the world and researchers from both countries have made a number of very important contributions to the field. The seminar will permit representatives from several research groups in the two countries to meet and exchange information which should lead to more extensive research collaboration.
