Omega Laser Facility Users Group 2015 Workshop
The Seventh Omega Laser Facility Users Group Workshop, held 22–24 April 2015, attracted 110 researchers from around the world. The purpose of the workshop is to facilitate a continuing dialog among the individual users and between the users and LLE. Most of the 70 contributed posters were given by students and postdocs in attendance.
