United States-Extreme Light Infrastructure Joint Dialogue Meeting

该奖项为美国-极光基础设施（ELI）联合对话会议提供支持，以聚集来自美国和欧洲ELI项目的国际技术专家和政府代表，探索高强度超快激光器的国际合作机会，并确定与建立前沿能力高亮度设施相关的机遇和挑战。会议将于2019年9月25日在光学学会位于华盛顿的总部举行，由美国国务院组织。为期一天的会议的目标是通过促进对话，建立新的个人联系和分享技术重大挑战，为高亮度科学和工程的合作提供新的机会。本次会议还将展示最先进的技术，确定高强度激光器领域的未来需求，并讨论激光技术和工程面临的挑战。讨论的主题将包括但不限于高密度激光等离子体相互作用、天体物理学、次级源、粒子加速、量子真空相互作用和非微扰量子电动力学以及阿秒科学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award provides support for a United States - Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) Joint Dialogue Meeting to gather international technical experts and government representatives from the United States and the European ELI project to explore opportunities for international collaboration in high-intensity ultrafast lasers and identify opportunities and challenges associated with establishing frontier capability high brightness facilities. The meeting will be held on September 25, 2019 at The Optical Society's headquarters in Washington, DC and is being organized by the US Department of State.The goal of the one-day meeting is to provide new opportunities for collaboration in high brightness science and engineering by facilitating dialogue, establishing new personal connections, and sharing technical grand challenges. This meeting will also showcase the state of the art, identify future needs in the field of high-intensity lasers, and discuss challenges to laser technology and engineering. The discussed topics will include but will not be limited to high-density laser-plasma interactions, astrophysics, secondary sources, particle acceleration, quantum vacuum interactions and non-perturbative quantum electrodynamics, and attosecond science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
