We hope that you will enjoy the meeting and that your interaction with your colleagues from many different countries will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding. Feel yourself at home in Szeged, Hungary. István Földes Chairman Scope of the Conference Ultrashort laser pulses reaching extra high intensities open new windows to obtain information about molecular and atomic processes. These pulses are even able to penetrate into atomic scalelengths not only by generating particles of ultrahigh energy but also inside the spatial and temporal atomic scalelengths. New regimes of laser-matter interaction were opened in the last decade with an increasing number of laboratories and researchers in these fields. The interactions with visible light in this parameter range also result in new radiation sources, such as soft and hard X-rays, gamma rays, moreover energetic particles (electrons, protons, heavy ions, and neutrons) are also generated. Even nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission can be effectively driven by strong laser pulses. Most of these intrinsically nonlinear interactions are occurring in plasmas, therefore it is no surprise that high-intensity physics have been strongly motivated since the beginning by the controlled thermonuclear fusion researches. On the other hand attosecond pulses even allow control and real-time observation of electron dynamics at sub-atomic dimensions. This Conference which joins the ULTRA COST activity ("Laser-matter interactions with ültra-short pulses, high-frequency pulses and ultra-intense pulses. From attophysics to petawatt physics") and the XTRA ("Ultrashort XUV Pulses for Time-Resolved and Non- Linear Applications") Marie-Curie Research Training Network, intends to offer a possibility to the members of both of these activities to exchange ideas on recent theoretical and exper- imental results on the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with matter giving a broad view from theoretical models to practical and technical applications.

Acknowledgments My sincerest gratitude goes to my adviser, Professor Downer, for introducing me to the incredibly interesting world of laser-plasma physics and allowing me to play with his expensive laser. I would like to thank Xioaming Wang and Hai-En Tsai whose initial tutelage in laser maintenance and laser plasma diagnostics would prove invalu- able throughout my entire time at UT. I would like to thank Rafal Zgadzaj and Aaron Bernstein for the countless hours of time donated towards setting up experiments, proofreading publications and presentations, and providing general advice of all kinds. Thank you to Vincent Chang, Andrea Hannasch, Max LaBerge, Kathleen Weichman, Jake Welch, Xiantao Cheng, Ganesh Ti- wari, and Luc Lisi for all their help setting up and conducting experiments. And thanks for being great company during late-night data runs. I would like to thank Farbod Shafiei, Neil Fazel, and Loucas Loumakos for all the lively conversations and being great office mates.

    Toshiki Tajima List of Publications (4/02/2018) The search for citation numbers of the publications has been done using Google Scholar and Web of Science. Because of the search engines do slightly differently as well as the choice of key words chosen are slightly different, we find that though they show some general agrément with each other, tehre sometimes miss particular article citations all together. Thus, we should be aware that some of the publications are still unaccounted for by both of the search engines.
