We are pleased to announce the 10th International Conference on High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics, to be held May 12-16, 2014 Bordeaux.

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.

All requests of participating at the HEDLA 2014 conference will be subject to the agreement of the competent authorities.

MEETING TOPICS

• Plasma physics
• Stellar explosions
• Magnetized HED laboratory astrophysics
• Astrophysical disks, jets, and outflows
• Stellar, solar and nuclear astrophysics
• Computations in HED physics
• Radiative hydrodynamics
• Warm dense matter
