3rd International Conference on High Energy Density Physics 2011

Welcome to the 3rd International Conference on High Energy Density Physics (ICHED 2011) website. ICHED 2011 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal at the Centro Cultural de Belém, May 17-20 2011. This meeting is the third in a series which was first held in April, 2008 in conjunction with the April APS meeting, and the first to be held in Europe. ICHED has the goal of bringing together researchers from all fields of High Energy Density science in one, unified meeting.

The conference is hosted by the Institute for Plasmas and Nuclear Fusion (IPFN) in Lisbon, Portugal.
