On the Role of Atomic Binding Forces and Warm-Dense-Matter Physics in the Modeling of mJ-Class Laser-Induced Surface Ablation
Asher Davidson, George Petrov, Daniel Gordon +1
Ultrafast laser heating of electrons on a metal surface breaks the pressure equilibrium within the material, thus initiating ablation. The stasis of a room-temperature metal result…

Optimizing Laser Wakefield Acceleration in the Nonlinear Self-Guided Regime for Fixed Laser Energy
A. Davidson, A. Tableman, P. Yu +5
The scaling laws for laser wakefield acceleration in the nonlinear, self-guided regime [Lu et al. Phys. Rev. Spec. Top. Accel. Beams 10, 061301 (2007)] are examined in detail using…
