Conference Description

The 18th Gordon Research Conference on Multiphoton Processes will take place at a new venue, Proctor Academy. The field is rapidly expanding and so the conference topics are adapted to the exciting new areas that have opened up. The scientific program is cross-disciplinary, including physicists, chemists and optical engineers, in both theory and experiment. The speakers and discussion leaders are a mixture of well-established leaders in the field and young and upcoming researchers from around the world.

The sessions will focus on:

  • Attosecond science
  • Ultrafast imaging
  • New spectroscopy techniques
  • Controlling light and matter
  • Molecular dynamics in strong fields
  • Free-electron laser experiments and theory
