| ASian core program for High energy density science Using intense LAser photons under the auspices of JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion
of Science) |

| [Preface] |
| In order to develop further the high energy density science (HEDS) in
Asia, we would like to enhance the research network with Shanghai Jiao
Tong University (China), Institute for Plasma Research (India), and Korea
Atomic Energy Research Institute (Korea) as leading institutes of each
country. Several high performance laser systems can be utilized with a
good coordination. Theoretical and simulation studies can be developed.
Data base for atomic, molecular and plasma spectroscopy can be created.
Possible areas to be covered will be (1) relativistic laser matter interactions,
(2) plasma devices, (3) laboratory astrophysics, (4) particle acceleration,
and (5) material science under extreme conditions. |
|
| |
| One of key points on this project is that we encourage the participating
scientists from each country make a pair of the senior and young. By this
way we can transmit the tight channel on the collaboration already existing
among the well-established scientists to the younger generation. |
|
| |
| A start-up workshop will be planned in late November in Japan with a summary
workshop of similar project with the U.S.A. and European countries. |
|
| |
| The leaders from each country are Prof Jie Zhang at Shanghai Jiao Tong
University, Prof. Predhiman Krishan Kaw at the Institute for Plasma Research,
and Dr. Yongjoo Rhee at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The
ASHULA will include many other institutes and universities from Japan,
China, India and Korea. |

*Promote collaborative research in high energy density science with China,
India and Korea Japan from 2011 to 2016: ASHULA
The acronym is based on the Persian God (China, India and Korea) of War,
but very peaceful sign in Japanese Buddism. |
