The LSF User Meeting
The Laser for Science Facility (LSF) User Meeting hosted by the CLF provides a unique overview of the multi-disciplinary science taking place in the CLF’s Artemis, Octopus and Ultra facilities. Typically held every 18 months, it is very well attended with over 100 attendees. The meeting is three-days long, typically held in Oxford, with talks and posters from a range of users covering the full range of science across the Octopus, Ultra and Artemis facilities.
Scientific areas to be covered include chemistry, physics, biology, environmental science, materials and engineering, with a focus on the interface between the life and physical sciences. The meeting also serves as a timely opportunity for the LSF community to meet and learn about the overall science programme, discuss future requirements and new opportunities, and exchange views and ideas.
The HPL Christmas Meeting
The High Power Laser (HPL) Christmas Meeting has been held annually for over 30 years. Primarily aimed at PhD students and early career researchers, it has become a strong tradition within the academic community, and was even held remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This three-day meeting typically has over 150 attendees. There are around 50 scheduled oral presentations mostly from external attendees, and we strongly encourage talks and posters from PhD students. The meeting covers a broad range of the scientific topics associated with the HPL facilities. We also arrange ‘tutorial talks’ to provide introductions or reviews of various areas.
