Welcome

We are pleased to announce the 8th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics, to be held March 15-18, 2010 on the campus of California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

During the past decade, research teams around the world have developed astrophysics-relevant research utilizing high energy-density facilities such as intense lasers and z-pinches. Research is underway in many areas, such as compressible hydrodynamic mixing, strong shock phenomena, radiation flow, radiative shocks and jets, complex opacities, equations of state, superstrong magnetic fields, and relativistic plasmas.

Abstract deadline has passed.
Hotel reservation deadline is February 21, 2010.

All conference presenters will be invited to submit their original papers or reviews for a refereed special issue of the journal Astrophysics and Space Science on the topic 'New Developments in High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics'.

Note: Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time) starts in California on Sunday, March 14. Please set your watch ahead (if not, you will be late for registration/reception on Sunday)
