In recent years laser technology has made tremendous progress and the
interaction of matter with light of extremely short pulse duration and high
intensity has become available. These regimes of radiation are comparable to the electromagnetic
pulse created by a highly charged and fast ion beam.
This workshop/seminar shall bring together specialists from these three areas
in order to assess common interests and phenomena and to provide the
opportunity for a closer contact between the hitherto rather separate
communities of researchers working with (a) short femtosecond laser pulses as
a diagnostic tool for the dynamics of matter, (b) intense laser pulses which
modify the dynamics of matter nonperturbatively, (c) highly charged ions to
probe target properties. The workshop with 60 - 70 participants will be
organized in partnership with the Sonderforschungsbereich 276 at the
University of Freiburg. The talks are planned to cover the status in the three
areas (a - c) mentioned above, theoretically as well as experimentally.
