Laser-Beam Interactions 2001 Conference Edition

The 21st ICFA Beam Dynamics Workshop on Laser-Beam Interactions was held at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA from June 11 to June 15, 2001. It took place under the joint auspices of ICFA (the International Committee on Future Accelerators) and the Stony Brook Physics Department. The workshop addressed the most recent results and future possibilities in the following topics:

  • High quality electron beams
  • High quality, high power laser beams
  • Ultra-fast X-ray microscopy and pump-probe experiments
  • Laser induced radiation from electron beams: Thomson scattering, seeded Free Electron Lasers, harmonic generation
  • Generation and application of femtosecond X-ray beams
  • Generation of polarized gamma rays and polarized positrons
  • Gamma-gamma colliders
  • Laser cooling of accelerator beams
  • Beam diagnosis
  • Control, manipulation, and microbunching of electron beams by lasers
  • Laser acceleration
  • High field science
