Prof. Sergei V. Bulanov (Kansai Photon Science Institute of Japan Atomic Energy Agency) will hold a lecture on the prospects of using extreme relativistic laser-matter interactions for laboratory astrophysics. Laser-driven process simulation of matter dynamics at ultra-high energy density is proposed for the studies of astrophysical compact objects and the early universe. The event takes place in the Lecture Hall of the Institute of Physics, Pod vodárenskou věží 1, Prague 8. The lecture begins at 3PM.
