Laser Interactions with Gas Jets: EMP Emission and Nozzle Damage
Philip Wykeham Bradford, Valeria Ospina-Bohorquez, Michael Ehret +18
Understanding the physics of electromagnetic pulse emission and nozzle damage is critical for the long-term operation of laser experiments with gas targets, particularly at facilit…

Spatial characterization of debris ejection from the interaction of a tightly focused PW-laser pulse with metal targets
I. -M. Vladisavlevici, C. Vlachos, J. -L. Dubois +22
We present a novel scheme for rapid quantitative analysis of debris generated during experiments with solid targets following relativistic laser-plasma interaction at high-power la…

Currents from relativistic laser-plasma interaction as novel metrology for system stability of high-repetition-rate laser secondary sources
Michael Ehret, Jose Luis Henares, Iuliana-Mariana Vladisavlevici +8
This work shows for the first time experimentally the close relation between return currents from relativistic laser-driven target polarization and the quality of the relativistic…
