Description
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the Ultra-Intense Laser Interaction Science conference “ULIS2009@Frascati” to be held at the National Laboratories of INFN in Frascati (LNF-INFN) next May 2009, from 24th to 29th. The ULIS conference series was launched by Ph. Martin, S. Jacquemot and E. Mevel with ULIS2007 in Bordeaux with the intention of offering to researchers involved in experimental, numerical or theoretical studies on Strong Field or Ultra-High Intensity science (UHI) and Inertial Fusion for Energy (IFE) an outstanding opportunity to gather and compare their expertise and then to federate these communities. The success of ULIS 2007 exceeded the most optimistic expectations. ULIS 2009 will keep the same objectives while further opening the participation to a multidisciplinary scientific community. Topics to be addressed will then include: - New Laser Sources: High Energy – High Power - Fundamental Processes at Ultra-High Intensity - Relativistic Optics in Plasmas - Advanced IFE Schemes including Fast Ignition - Laser-driven Particle Accelerators and their potential uses - Secondary Sources, Applications and Radioprotection Issues - Attosecond science “ULIS2009@Frascati” will be hosted by LNF-INFN labs, where a frontier laboratory is being set-up with the installation of the 300 TW - 20 fs FLAME laser operating in close connection with the 150 MeV Linac of the SPARC Free Electron Laser. Across the road from INFN there is the ENEA Research Centre with its infrastructures devoted to Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion, including the ABC laser laboratory.

        Recent developments on a single beamline 10PW laser system ILE/APOLLON and associated bottlenecks investigation for the future ELI Ewawatt laser 30m
        We will describe in detail the laser design concerning the construction of a single beamline Ultra Intense Laser delivering 10PW pulses (150J /15 fs) at 1 shot par minute repetition rate. This laser funded by the French program ILE/APOLLON is presently under construction and will be fully operational in 2013. It could be considered as a prototype beam for the ELI Multibeam laser expected to deliver 200PW (3KJ /15fs). To reach such a level of performances, several bottlenecks have been oinvestigated and overcome. We will discuss the work done on new large size Titanium Sapphire crystals, on high performance non linear SHG crystals, on new compressor gratings concepts and on large pump lasers. Today we consider that the ILE bottlenecks are overcome. We will present what could be the future ELI Laser architecture and the remaining technological bottlenecks which still need to be overcome, and coherent beams combining, high damage threshold broadband reflective optics, and large deformable mirrors.

        Recent results on acceleration mechanisms and beam optimization of laser-driven proton beams 30m
        Beam optimization of laser-accelerated protons is a crucial point for the development of applications in various areas. Several directions need to be pursued, namely (i) ptimization of the high-energy end of the spectrum e.g. for dense lasma radiography, (ii) optimization of the low-energy end of the spectrum e.g. for isochoric heating of matter, (iii) enhancement of laser-to-protons conversion efficiency and reduction of divergence e.g. for fast ignition. We will present recent experimental results and simulations on these topics. New diagnostic capabilities open the way to precise time and space-resolved measurement of laseracceleration of protons [1]. We will show that high-energy protons in the TNSA regime could be enhanced using low-density plasmas [2] or reduced mass solid targets [3]. The laser-toprotons conversion efficiency is equally sensitive to laser and target parameters and can be increased using ultra-thin targets [4] or reduced mass solid targets [3]. Conversely, lowenergy protons are relatively independent of laser and target conditions. In addition, we will present some results in exploring radiation-pressure acceleration of ions using circularly polarized laser pulses. [1] P. Antici, J. Fuchs et al., Phys. Rev.
