International Workshop and 391. WE-Heraeus-Seminar
Attosecond Physics
August 1 - 5, 2007
Scientific Coordinators:
Paul Corkum (National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada)

The interaction between intense ultra-short laser pulses and matter
constitutes a new field of research. It challenges the experiment and
also theory, since a non-perturbative
description with regard to high non-linear multi-photon
processes is required.
So far, the biggest breakthrough which has emerged from the experimental
and theoretical attosecond research in this highly non-linear
non-perturbative regime of laser-matter-interaction, was the creation and
measurement
of attosecond pulses. Having them at our disposal we are at the beginning of
a new scientific era, the age of attosecond science. It will give
researchers a
completely new microscopic insight into electron processes,
taking place in atoms, molecules, biosystems, clusters, semiconductor
nanostructures or plasmas. They can be observed in real-time and even controlled
to an increasing extent on their natural (attosecond) time scale.
The main purpose of the workshop will be to discuss the current status of
attosecond research and the obstacles for further development of
attosecond measurements towards shorter time intervals and higher intensities,
as well as methods to resolve them. A second important aim is to discuss,understand and
propose new applications of attosecond technique in biology,
chemistry, physics and plasma physics.
