LPAW 2023
The Laser and Plasma Accelerators Workshop 2023 was held at the Vila Galé hotel in Lagos in the Algarve region, south of Portugal, from March 6-10, 2023.
The Laser and Plasma Accelerators Workshop (LPAW) series is one of the leading workshops in the field of plasma-based acceleration and radiation generation. It started in the 1990s, with the first edition held in Kardamili, Greece.
In 2007, the workshop was held in Portugal at the Terceira Island in Azores, and we are happy to have hosted another successful edition in Portugal.
The latest editions were held in Split, Croatia (2019) ; Jeju, Korea (2017) ; Guadeloupe, French Caribbean (2015) ; Goa, India (2013) ; and Wuzhen, China (2011) . Typically a bi-annual conference, the 2021 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2023 edition marked its return, after four years, to cover exciting advancements, novel ideas, and prospects to discuss. As is traditional in the LPAW series, the focus was in a friendly and relaxed environment with plenty of time for discussions.
The following scientific topics will be the main focus of the conference:
- WG 1: Plasma-based lepton acceleration (experiments, simulations, theory, diagnostics, ...).
WG co-leaders: Yang Wan and Thales Silva. - WG 2: Plasma-based ion acceleration (experiments, simulations, theory, diagnostics, ...).
WG co-leaders: Ulrich Schramm and Igor Andriyash. - WG 3: Secondary radiation generation and applications (experiments, simulations, theory, diagnostics, ...).
WG co-leaders: Amina Hussein and Miguel Pardal.
