High-Field Attosecond Physics

Home

Program

The physics of atoms inintense laser fields allows the generation of coherent uv pulses with aduration in the attosecond regime. Progress in laser technology hasenabled making intense infrared pulses with a duration as short as onecycle and with controlled shape. By themselves or taken together, thesedevelopments will allow imaging in time and space of the electronicmotion in atoms and molecules with a resolution on the subfemtosecondsecond and the subangstrom scale. Pioneering experiments have alreadybeen carried out in order to estimate the potential of theseunprecedented tools, and novel theoretical concepts and methods areneeded for their interpretation and design.

The seminar will bring together leading experimentalists and theoristsin this exciting field to present in invited talks their cutting-edgeresearch and to sketch the directions of future work. Youngerscientists will have the opportunity to display their work in postersessions. The seminar will take place in the invigorating high-altitudeenvironment of the inner Oetztal with its unsurpassed snow conditionsand hours of sunshine.
