Omega Laser Facility Users Group 2023 Workshop

The 14th Omega Laser Facility Users Group (OLUG) Workshop, held on 26–28 April 2023 at the Bloch Alumni Advancement Center and Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE), attracted about 160 researchers from around the world with 130 on-site (see the picture below). The workshop facilitates a continuing dialog between the Omega users, the users and LLE management, and the users and the broader scientific community. It also provides an opportunity for students and postdoctoral fellows to present their research in an interactive and informal atmosphere. The OLUG community submitted 27 Findings and Recommendations (including 3 from 2022) to facility management. Of the 81 total poster presentations during the workshop, 64 were given by postdocs and students.
