International Conference on High Energy Density Science 2017 (HEDS2017)

High energy density sciences based on high power lasers, ultra-high energy particle accelerators, and astrophysics have been boosted recently with the mastering of powerful laser chains that deliver ultra-short and intense laser beams. Strong vacuum polarization, high energy particles, femtosecond duration mono-energetic electron beams and x-rays come to reality to give us new fundamental knowledge and unique instruments both for basic researches and for industry. Prospects of projects newly opened in USA, France, UK, Germany, and Japan are of particular interest for discussion.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH ENERGY DENSITY SCIENCES 2017 (HEDS2017) is being organized to share information on high energy density sciences and related technologies. The conference will be held at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama city, Japan, on April 18- 21, 2017 with the sponsorship of Laser Society of Japan, in cooperation with several academic societies and associations. The HEDS2017 is intended to provide a central forum for the update and review of scientific and technical information on high energy density sciences covering a wide range of fields from basic sciences to applications.
