LPHYS'26.    Program:

Seminar 2: Strong Field & Attosecond Physics

Co-chairs:

Seminar 2 has mapped the development of strong-field physics from a small area of interest only to a handful of specialists to its current outstanding significance almost from the beginning. Contributions to theory as well as the numerous applications that have emerged are welcome, including also free-electron lasers, precision measurement, terahertz physics, etc.
