The Magnetic Fields in Laser Plasmas Workshop was held 23–24 April at LLE as a satellite meeting to the Annual OMEGA Laser Users’ Group meeting (OLUG). The meeting served to bring together those working on laser experiments and simulations with imposed magnetic fields to discuss the state-of-the-art, outstanding physics issues, future directions, and collaborations at a time of expanding opportunities. There were 36 external attendees, from 21 different institutions in 6 different countries: the U.S. (29 attendees), Canada (1), the UK (1), Japan (2), France (2) and Spain (1), demonstrating the worldwide interest in this growing area of research.
