Exploiting multi-scale parallelism for large scale numerical modelling of laser wakefield accelerators

Ricardo A. Fonseca, Jorge Vieira, Frederico Fiúza +4

A new generation of laser wakefield accelerators, supported by the extreme accelerating fields generated in the interaction of PW-Class lasers and underdense targets, promises the…

Laser-plasma interactions for fast ignition

A. J. Kemp, F. Fiuza, A. Debayle +5

In the electron-driven fast-ignition approach to inertial confinement fusion, petawatt laser pulses are required to generate MeV electrons that deposit several tens of kilojoules i…
