ATTOFEL Summer School
The ATTOFEL Summer School in Crete will provided young researchers with training in the fields of attosecond and free electron laser science. (Crete, May 2-6 2011)
Scientific program
The scientific program included 18 courses and hands-on-training, covering topics from ultrafast laser technology to experimental instrumentation and strong-field physics. The school offered a basic introduction into the generation of XUV, attosecond, and free electron laser light pulses and present a large range of physical experiments based on such novel light sources.
Location
The summer school took place in the Atlantica Sensatori Resort in Crete, right at the beach of the Cretan Sea.
