Scaling Interferometry to the Multi-Petawatt Regime

Mara L. Klebonas, Hernan J. Quevedo, Calin I. Hojbota +6

Pre-plasma conditions strongly influence laser-plasma interactions in the multi-petawatt (MPW) regime, increasing the need for reliable early-time plasma evolution diagnostics. Amo…

Unified Model of Heated Plasma Expansion

Ritwik Sain, Lance Labun, Ou Z. Labun +1

Motivated by the need to predict plasma density and temperature distributions created in the early stages of high-intensity laser-plasma interactions, we develop a fluid model of p…

Rapidity regulators in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan processes

Sean Fleming, Ou Z. Labun

We study the semi-inclusive limit of the deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan (DY) processes in soft collinear effective theory. In this regime so-called threshold logarithms mu…
