This proposal is for partial funding of an international Summer School on 'Laser-Plasma Interactions and Applications' to be held from 15 to 27 August 2011 at the University of Strathclyde. The School is the 68th in the Scottish Universities Summer Schools in Physics (SUSSP) series and the 7th on the topic of laser-plasma interactions. The last held on this topic took place in 2005. The School will also be run as part of the established NATO Advanced Studies Institute (ASI) series and is aimed at young researchers in the final years of their PhD or the early years of post-doctoral research. It is planned to host around 80 national and international students over a 12-day period and provide 38 lectures by 16 lecturers. Additional activities (numerical simulation and knowledge transfer workshops, panel discussions and a poster session) will also be provided. The school will bring together leading experts from Europe, the USA, Russia and Israel to lecture on the fundamental and applied aspects of high power laser-plasma physics. It will begin with an overview and the theory of the interactions of intense laser radiation with matter. The physics of laser-plasma accelerators will be covered in detail, including recent progress and potential applications. Cross disciplinary topics including applications to industry, medicine and security, and other areas of science including high field science and nuclear physics will also be addressed. The physics of inertial confinement fusion and its potential as an energy source will be covered, including the fast ignition approach. The school will also include other aspects of EPSRC-funded plasma physics research including, for example, plasma instabilities and materials for fusion reactors. The proposed comprehensive training that will be offered by the School could not be effectively provided by individual institutions. No comparable training programme exists with this level of coverage of laser-plasma interactions and applications. There is a strategic need for training in this area, with the establishment of EPSRC-funded research consortia on laser-plasma accelerators (Alpha-X and LIBRA), the UK-led HiPER laser-fusion project and the Extreme Light Infrastructure, ELI, which is currently being set up.

该提议是针对国际暑期学校的部分资金，该学校将于2011年8月15日至27日在Strathclyde大学举行“激光 - 超脱互动和应用”。这所学校是苏格兰大学暑期学校（SUSSP）系列的第68届，也是激光与皮肤相互作用的第七名。关于该主题的最后一个举办的活动是在2005年举行的。该学校还将作为已建立的北约高级研究所（ASI）系列的一部分开展，并针对年轻的研究人员在其博士学位的最后几年或博士后研究的早期。计划在12天的时间内接待大约80名国家和国际学生，并由16位讲师提供38个讲座。还将提供其他活动（数值模拟和知识转移研讨会，小组讨论和海报会议）。该学校将汇集来自欧洲，美国，俄罗斯和以色列的领先专家，以讲述高功率激光 - 铂物理学的基本和应用方面。它将始于概述和强烈激光辐射与物质的相互作用的理论。将详细介绍激光 - 血浆加速器的物理学，包括最近的进度和潜在应用。还将解决跨学科主题，包括在行业，医学和安全方面的应用以及其他科学领域，包括高野外科学和核物理学。惯性限制融合及其作为能源的潜力的物理学将被涵盖，包括快速点火方法。该学校还将包括EPSRC资助的等离子体物理学研究的其他方面，包括等离子体不稳定性和融合反应器的材料。各个机构无法有效地提供学校提供的拟议的综合培训。与激光 - 等离子相互作用和应用的覆盖级别，没有可比的培训计划。由于建立了EPSRC资助的激光 - 系列加速器研究联盟（Alpha-X和Libra），英国领导的HIPER激光融合项目和Extreme Light Infratructure，目前正在建立的ELI，目前正在建立，目前正在设立EPSRC资助的研究联盟（Alpha-X和Libra），目前正在设立EPSRC资助的研究联盟（Alpha-X和Libra），目前正在建立EPSRC，因此在这一领域有培训的战略需求。
