Fujioka-san gave an invited talk at FLA-4 workshop.
Prof. Fujioka participated in the Frontiers in Laser Applications Workshop (FLA-4).
This workshop was held in Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan from 7th July to 11th July.
He gave an invited talk on the development of fast ignition inertial fusion energy.
Ishigaki is a very beautiful island, and he enjoyed both the conference and life there during his stay.

Takizawa-san’s paper is published in HEDP journal.
Takizawa-san’s paper is published in the High Energy Density Physics journal.
The paper “Effect of irradiation uniformity on quasi-isentropic shock compression of solid spheres” explores how the uniformity of laser light affects the compression of solid spherical targets used in laser fusion energy research. This study highlights the importance of precise laser control in fusion energy research, suggesting that dynamic adjustments to the laser spot size could further enhance the uniformity and efficiency of the compression process. This advancement could significantly contribute to the development of fusion energy as a reliable and clean power source.

Matsubara-kun attended HEDSS2024.
Matsubara-kun attended the High Energy Density Summer School (HEDSS) at the University of Michigan from June 17 to 21. In the lectures, He learned about the theory and measurement methods of high-temperature plasmas and was able to deepen my knowledge of both theory and experiment. During the lab tour, he gained valuable experience observing specific approaches and instrument setups. In addition, through group work, he exchanged opinions and cooperated with other students, and was able to develop English language skills and cooperation skills, which are essential for large-scale experiments.

Tanaka-san’s paper published in Applied Physics Letters
Tanaka-san’s paper has been published in Applied Physics Letters.
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) is a pivotal light in the manufacture of cutting-edge smart devices that are on your hands and desks. Our team is working to reduce the cost of such devices’ manufacturing.
This paper highlighted the absolute density of hydrogen radicals produced by the interaction between hydrogen gas and EUV with the laser-induced fluorescence technique. The hydrogen radicals are expected to remove contamination in the manufacturing system utilizing EUV. For more details, please visit the publication on AIP’s website.

Tanaka-san’s comment in Atlas
Dr. Tanaka’s lay summary is published in Atlas of Science.
The article “A compact high yield isotope enrichment system” is published in Atlas of Science. We proposed a conceptual design of an isotope enrichment system for medical use, namely, Boron Neutron Capture (cancer) Therapy, aka BNCT, and a cancer diagnostics technique with a technetium tracer.
(This research was not conducted inside ILE, Osaka University)

James joined HOPE meeting
James HERNADEZ joined the HOPE meeting organized by JSPS. The HOPE meeting served as a great opportunity for young researchers to share their perspectives with a broader audience. Gaining inspiration from the Nobel lectures and discussions, he kept high impact in mind. The meeting put all our work into the bigger picture and challenged us to provide insight into recent research activities while being aware of the reality scientists face.
