Readership: Scientists in the fields of laser physics, atomic physics, molecular science, beam and plasma physics, accelerator physics, nuclear physics, high energy physics, and astrophysics.

The recent evolution of ultra-intense lasers makes it possible to open new frontiers of science on superstrong field interactions which cover explorations in a broad area ranging from atom and molecular science to nuclear and high energy particle physics; even further to astrophysics and cosmology. The symposium shed a bright light on this fast evolving field and foresaw a revolutionary paradigm shift in a quest for the origin of matter and universe. The topics covered in the proceedings are: applications of ultra-intense ultra-short pulse lasers; atoms, molecules and clusters in strong laser fields; high field chemistry; high harmonic generation, x-ray generation by laser-matter interactions and their applications; relativistic particle generation and acceleration by superstrong laser-plasma interactions; laser-induced nuclear and high energy particle physics; high energy astrophysics and cosmology, gamma-ray burst, cosmic ray acceleration; laboratory astrophysics; and quantum electrodynamics in superstrong fields.
