Laser-Plasma Interactions Enabled by Emerging Technologies
J. P. Palastro, F. Albert, B. Albright +51
An overview from the past and an outlook for the future of fundamental laser-plasma interactions research enabled by emerging laser systems.
Bremsstrahlung radiation from the interaction of short laser pulses with dielectrics
G. M. Petrov, J. P. Palastro, J. Peñano
An intense, short laser pulse incident on a transparent dielectric can excite electrons from valence to the conduction band. As these electrons undergo scattering, both from phonon…
Plasma lenses for ultrashort multi-petawatt laser pulses
J. P. Palastro, D. Gordon, B. Hafizi +5
An ideal plasma lens can provide the focusing power of a small f-number, solid-state focusing optic at a fraction of the diameter. An ideal plasma lens, however, relies on a steady…
A nonlinear plasma retroreflector for single pulse Compton backscattering
J. P. Palastro, D. Kaganovich, D. Gordon +4
Compton scattered x-rays can be generated using a configuration consisting of a single, ultra-intense laser pulse, and a shaped gas target. The gas target incorporates a hydrodynam…
Propagation of gamma rays and production of free electrons in air
Y. S. Dimant, G. S. Nusinovich, P. Sprangle +3
A new concept of remote detection of concealed radioactive materials has been recently proposed \cite{Gr.Nusin.2010}-\cite{NusinSprangle}. It is based on the breakdown in air at th…
