About this book
These proceedings comprise a selection of invited and contributed papers presented at the 15th International Conference on X-Ray Lasers (ICXRL 2016), held at the Nara Kasugano International Forum, Japan, from May 22 to 27, 2016. This conference was part of an ongoing series dedicated to recent developments in the science and technology of x-ray lasers and other coherent x-ray sources with additional focus on supporting technologies, instrumentation and applications.
The book showcases recent advances in the generation of intense, coherent x-rays, the development of practical devices and their applications across a wide variety of fields. It also discusses emerging topics such as plasma-based x-ray lasers, 4th generation accelerator-based sources and higher harmonic generations, as well as other x-ray generation schemes.

About the editors
Yoshiaki Kato is currently president of The Graduate School for the Creation of New Photonics Industries (GPI) and president of The Laser Society of Japan. He graduated from the University of Tokyo and earned his Ph.D. in 1970. From 1975, he was engaged in high-power laser, laser fusion, x-ray laser, and laser electron acceleration research at the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University. He co-chaired the 6th International Conference on X-Ray Lasers (ICXRL) in Kyoto in 1998 with H. Daido and H. Takuma. From 1998 to 2007, he was at the JAERI/JAEA Kansai Photon Science Institute (KPSI). He joined the GPI in 2007. He promoted high field science as chair of the OECD Global Science Forum Working Group on Compact, High-Intensity Short-Pulse Lasers from 2000 to 2004, leading to the establishment of IUPAP ICUIL (The International Union of Pure and AppliedPhysics, International Committee on Ultra-Intense Lasers) and the Asian Intense Laser Network, both in 2004. He has received several awards, including the American Physical Society’s (APS) Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research. Y. Kato has published 350 papers.
Hiroyuki Daido is currently the director of the Naraha Remote Technology Development Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). He earned his doctorate degree from Osaka University in 1981. From 1991 to 2000 he worked at the Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE) Osaka University where he focused on CO2 laser-driven inertial fusion, soft x-ray lasers and incoherent soft x-ray sources and their applications. He moved to the Kansai Photon Science Institute (KPSI) of JAEA in 2000 where his work involves ultra-high intensity physics, and the development of ion sources and their applications. From 2009 to the present, he has been engaged in the study of laser technology for decommissioning nuclear facilities as well as maintaining social infrastructures.
T. Kawachi is the director of the Kansai Photon Science Institute (KPSI) National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (QST). He earned his Ph.D. from the Kyoto University in 1995. He started his career as a researcher at The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) in 1995. He joined the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) in 1998, where he took part in the table-top x-ray laser research project. He has achieved several remarkable results on laser-based plasma x-ray. Recently, he won the TAIZAN Award together with Dr. H. Daido from the Institute of Laser Technology.
