Tens of MeV, collimated, bright fluxes of protons from ordered nano-structured targets in ultra-relativistic laser-matter interaction
Sagar Dam, Stefania Ionescu, Jian Fuh Ong +20
Laser-driven proton acceleration from nanostructured solid targets has been extensively studied, yet its performance under realistic temporal contrast conditions at petawatt-class…

Enhanced dynamic range spatio-spectral metrology of few-cycle laser pulses
Cristian Alexe, Aaron Liberman, Saga Westerberg +13
Accurate spatio-temporal and spatio-spectral metrology is critical to the characterization and use of ultra-short, high-power lasers. The emergence of few cycle pulses, with bandwi…

Compton photons at the GeV scale from self-aligned collisions with a plasma mirror
Aimé Matheron, Jean-Raphaël Marquès, Vincent Lelasseux +34
With today's multi-petawatt lasers, testing quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the strong field regime, where the electric field exceeds the Schwinger critical field in the rest fram…
