Nuclear photonics deals with the study and exploitation of photon-induced phenomena at the nuclear-physical energy scale, and is a rapidly developing international interdisciplinary field of research due to recent developments in high-power lasers (Physics Nobel Prizes 2018). It involves the generation of brilliant particle beams with high-power lasers, fundamental research in nuclear physics with photonuclear reactions, and the development of new techniques and methods for their use.
From 29 October to 1 November 2024, the members of IRTG 2891 will meet for their second Annual Workshop at ELI-Beamlines in Dolni Brezany (near Prague) in the Czech Republic.
The scientific contributions, including those of early career researchers, will address fundamental questions in photonuclear and laser-plasma physics, covering topics such as the development of novel laser-driven radiation sources, the scientific exploitation of MeV-range photon beams, and the advancement of methodology and instrumentation for nuclear photonics.
By discussing findings from theoretical and experimental research, IRTG scientists will have a unique opportunity to create additional synergies between their fields of work. In addition, the following external experts will give keynote talks:
- Daniele Margarone (ELI Beamlines)
- Raj Laxmi Singh (ELI Beamlines)
- Milan Krticka (Charles University, Prag)
Attendance is free of charge.
