Workshop Details

July 28-30, 2009
A 2 ½ day workshop to discuss ideas for broad-interest, exciting science experiments that can be performed using the high-power lasers and pulsed power facilities at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the University of Texas (UTX).   The workshop is held under the auspices of the Institute for High Energy Density, joint between UT and SNL. 

Objectives

The objective of the meeting is to discuss and propose projects worthy of further pursuit, which will likely satisfy the following:

• Be performed using the UTX or SNL or both; high power lasers, pulsed power or both
• Facilitate a proposal to a specific funding agency (e.g. DoE, NSF, NIH, ...)
• Produce great science in the broadest national interest
• Produce results publishable in high-impact journals
• Produce results in either a short term (~3 year) or longer term (~5 year) timeframe
• Be in either basic or applied science areas

Location and dates

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28, Wednesday, July 29 and Thursday, July 30 (a half day) at the Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza.  In addition, there will be a reception on the evening of Monday, July 27 (travel day).
