IAMPI 2006

I am at the IAMPI 2006 conference in Syeged Hungarz. It started on sunday 9:00 am, so you can tell that participans are brave. I will be making a brief overview about the talks in this particular meeting. Up to now, the topics have been verz different ranging from ab initio atomic calculations up to x ray spectrometers, but it is aesy to see the search for high photon energy sources as well as short laser pulses with very different schemes.

Attosecond science | The fast show | Economist.com: "Extremely short laser pulses can illuminate electrons in motion". The article talk about the Atto boys and attowords, more than scientific news, shows already the importance of the field in the world.

atto06 � Forthcoming Papers

From the Attosecond Science Workshop at
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics
University of California
Santa Barbara, CA (31 July - 15 September 2006) We have a list of the atto06 � Forthcoming Papers

Congratulations to Prof. Paul Corkum.

Frontiers in Optics 2006 (FiO) – Laser Science XXII (LS) – The 90th OSA Annual Meeting: "Arthur L. Schawlow Prize and Lecture

Arthur L. Schawlow Prize: The Schawlow Prize recognizes outstanding contributions to basic research that use lasers to advance our knowledge of the fundamental physical properties of materials and their interaction with light.

2006 Recipient: The Division of Laser Science of the American Physical Society awards the 2006 Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in Laser Science to Paul B. Corkum for seminal contributions to the development of ultrasoft, intense laser-field science, including his development of the recollision model for laser-matter interactions, and his leadership in the emerging field of attosecond laser science.

I found this nice photo while browsing Flickr. This is made by people in CICESE, Ensenada at Mexico. The photo is very nice, hopefully a lot of people start uploading figures and photos like these
