Summary of laser plasma physics sessions at the first AAPPS-DPP conference

The presentations on laser-plasma physics at the first AAPPS-DPP Conference cover topics of inertial confined fusion physics and technologies, laboratory astrophysics and high energy density physics, laser plasma based particle acceleration (electrons and ions) and radiation, fundamental laser plasma physics, and related high power laser system development. This report summarizes the major advances in these topics presented at the plenary and oral sessions
