Detailed study of non-equilibrium characteristics of quasi-neutral TNSA plasmas
Zhe Zhu, A. Bonasera, D. Batani +26
In an experiment performed in November 2022 at the petawatt (PW) laser facility at Vega III located in Salamanca-Spain, we have studied the successful production of several radiois…
High-repetition-rate source of nanosecond duration kA-current pulses driven by relativistic laser pulses
Michael Ehret, Jakub Cikhardt, Philip Bradford +10
We report the first high-repetition rate generation and simultaneous characterization of nanosecond-scale return currents of kA-magnitude issued by the polarization of a target irr…
Laser-driven ion and electron acceleration from near-critical density gas targets: towards high-repetition rate operation in the 1 PW, sub-100 fs laser interaction regime
V. Ospina-Bohórquez, C. Salgado-López, M. Ehret +34
Ion acceleration from gaseous targets driven by relativistic-intensity lasers was demonstrated as early as the late 90s, yet most of the experiments conducted to date have involved…
A Platform for Ultra-fast Proton Probing of Matter in Extreme Conditions
Luca Volpe, Alberto Perez, Teresa Cebriano +4
Recent development of Ultra short and Intense laser system paved the way for the generation of short and brilliant proton sources that can be used to study plasmas at extreme condi…
High-repetition-rate solid tape target delivery system for ultra-intense laser-matter interaction at CLPU
Michael Ehret, Diego de Luis, Jon Imanol Apiñaniz +6
The VEGA-3 laser system at the Centro de Láseres Pulsados (CLPU) delivers laser pulses up to 1PW at 1Hz repetition rate, focused to intensities up to 2.5e20W/cm2. A versatile and c…
Ablation Holes in Tape Targets Induced by Ultra-Intense Laser Pulses
Michael Ehret, Jon Imanol Apiñaniz, Jose Luis Henares +5
We present a theoretical modelling able to predict the dimensions of mm-sized through-holes produced in interactions of the 1 PW high-power 30fs Ti:Sa laser VEGA-3 with tape target…
Towards a direct measurement of the quantum vacuum Lagrangian coupling coefficients using two counter propagating super-intense laser pulses
Luis Roso, Roberto Lera, Smrithan Ravichandran +8
In this paper we will show that photon-photon collision experiments using extreme lasers can provide measurable effects giving fundamental information about the essence of QED, its…
Ion acceleration by an ultrashort laser pulse interacting with a near-critical-density gas jet
M. Ehret, C. Salgado-Lopez, V. Ospina-Bohorquez +28
We demonstrate laser-driven Helium ion acceleration with cut-off energies above 25 MeV and peaked ion number above /MeV for 22(2) MeV projectiles from near-critical density…
Integrated quantitative PIXE analysis and EDX spectroscopy using a laser-driven particle source
F. Mirani, A. Maffini, F. Casamichiela +17
Among the existing elemental characterization techniques, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy are two of the most widely used in d…
A 2D scintillator based proton detector for HRR experiments
M. Huault, D. De Luis, J. Alpinaniz +7
We present a scintillator based detector able to measure both spatial and energy information at High repetition rate (HRR) with a relatively simple design. It has been built at the…
Generation of high energy laser-driven electron and proton sources with the 200 TW system VEGA 2 at the Centro de Laseres Pulsados
L. Volpe, R. Fedosejevs, G. Gatti +23
The Centro de Laseres Pulsados in Salamanca Spain has recently started operation phase and the first User access period on the 6 J 30 fs 200 TW system (VEGA 2) already started at t…
