The field of photon based nuclear science and applications is evolving rapidly being driven by the major worldwide developments of ultrahigh intensity lasers and brilliant quasi monochromatic gamma ray beam systems.

The 3rd International Conference on Nuclear Photonics (NP2020) will be held during June 1-5, 2020 June 7-11, 2021 in Kurashiki Online, Japan. The conference will be organized by the Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE) and Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), under Institute for Open and Transdisciplinary Research Initiatives (OTRI), Osaka University, Osaka Japan.

Nuclear Photonics 2020 aims at bringing together leading scientists, researchers and research scholars from around the world involved in the fields of high energy density physics, high power laser photonics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, accelerator and detector science, and their applications for exchanging and sharing the experience and most recent results.

Nuclear Photonics 2020 is organized in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The focus of Nuclear Photonics 2020 will be on the following main topics:

• Interactions between photons and nucleus/hadrons particles
• Laser-plasma nuclear physics
• High-intensity laser-plasma interactions
• Laser Compton scattering gamma-rays
• Photon-enabled secondary beams (ion, neutron, electron, positron, etc.) generation and its applications
• Photon-based production of rare isotopes
• Nuclear astrophysics and cosmology
• Fundamental photon science
• Strong field QED
• Photon vortex and unique wave function photons
• Isotope-specific nuclear materials detection, and evaluation
• Medical radioisotopes for radiography and radiotherapy
• Ultra-high intensity laser optics and technology
• Accelerator and detector science
