Ultrafast opacity in borosilicate glass induced by picosecond bursts of laser-driven ions
B. Dromey, L. Stella, D. Adams +22
Direct investigation of ion-induced dynamics in matter on picosecond (ps, 10-12 s) timescales has been precluded to date by the relatively long nanosecond (ns, 10-9 s) scale ion pu…
Characterisation of deuterium spectra from laser driven multi-species sources by employing differentially filtered image plate detectors in Thomson spectrometers
A. Alejo, S. Kar, H. Ahmed +23
A novel method for characterising the full spectrum of deuteron ions emitted by laser driven multi-species ion sources is discussed. The procedure is based on using differential fi…
Optimisation of the pointing stability of laser-wakefield accelerated electron beams
R. J. Garland, K. Poder, J. Cole +13
Laser-wakefield acceleration is a promising technique for the next generation of ultra-compact, high-energy particle accelerators. However, for a meaningful use of laser-driven par…
The evolution of a slow electrostatic shock into a plasma shock mediated by electrostatic turbulence
Mark Eric Dieckmann, Gianluca Sarri, Domenico Doria +2
The collision of two plasma clouds at a speed that exceeds the ion acoustic speed can result in the formation of shocks. This phenomenon is observed not only in astrophysical scena…
Fast electron propagation in Ti foils irradiated with sub-picosecond laser pulses at Wcm
M Makita, G Nersisyan, K McKeever +10
We have studied the propagation of fast electrons through laser irradiated Ti foils by monitoring the emission of hard X-rays and K-α radiation from bare foils and foils backed by…
