Laser structured micro-targets generate MeV electron temperature at W/cm
Angana Mondal, Ratul Sabui, Sheroy Tata +14
Relativistic temperature electrons higher than 0.5 MeV are generated typically with laser intensities of about 10 W/cm. Their generation with high repetition rate lase…
Generation of a strong reverse shock wave in the interaction of a high-contrast high-intensity femtosecond laser pulse with a silicon target
Kamalesh Jana, Amit D. Lad, Moniruzzaman Shaikh +6
We present ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity and Doppler spectrometry of a silicon target at relativistic laser intensity. We observe an unexpected rise in reflectivity to a peak a…
Efficient ion acceleration and dense electron-positron plasma creation in ultra-high intensity laser-solid interactions
D. Del Sorbo, D. R. Blackman, R. Capdessus +9
The radiation pressure of next generation ultra-high intensity ( W/cm) lasers could efficiently accelerate ions to GeV energies. However, nonlinear quantum-electrod…
Rapid Embedded Wire Heating via Resistive Guiding of Laser-Generated Fast Electrons as a Hydrodynamic Driver
A. P. L. Robinson, H. Schmitz, J. Pasley
Resistively guiding laser-generated fast electron beams in targets consisting of a resistive wire embedded in lower material should allow one to rapidly heat the wire to over 1…
Micron-Scale Mapping of Megagauss Magnetic Fields in Petawatt Laser-Solid Interactions
Gourab Chatterjee, Prashant Kumar Singh, A. P. L. Robinson +14
We report spatially and temporally resolved measurements of magnetic fields generated by petawatt laser-solid interactions with high spatial resolution, using optical polarimetry.…
Controlling fast electron beam divergence using two laser pulses
R. H. H. Scott, C. Beaucourt, H. -P. Schlenvoigt +21
This paper describes the first experimental demonstration of the guiding of a relativistic electron beam in a solid target using two co-linear, relativistically intense, picosecond…
