Superintense Laser-driven Photon Activation Analysis
Francesco Mirani, Daniele Calzolari, Arianna Formenti +1
Laser-driven radiation sources are attracting increasing attention for several materials science applications. While laser-driven ions, electrons and neutrons have already been con…
Integrated quantitative PIXE analysis and EDX spectroscopy using a laser-driven particle source
F. Mirani, A. Maffini, F. Casamichiela +17
Among the existing elemental characterization techniques, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy are two of the most widely used in d…
Superintense Laser-driven Ion Beam Analysis
Matteo Passoni, Luca Fedeli, Francesco Mirani
Ion beam analysis techniques are among the most powerful tools for advanced material characterization. Despite their growing relevance in a widening number of fields, most ion beam…
Parametric investigation of laser interaction with uniform and nanostructured near-critical plasmas
Luca Fedeli, Arianna Formenti, Carlo Enrico Bottani +1
Laser interaction with uniform and nanostructured near-critical plasmas has been investigated by means of 2D particle-in-cell simulations. The effect of a nanostructure (modeled as…
Electron acceleration by relativistic surface plasmons in laser-grating interaction
Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni, Giada Cantono +9
The generation of energetic electron bunches by the interaction of a short, ultra-intense () laser pulse with "grating" targets has been investigated in…
Evidence of resonant surface wave excitation in the relativistic regime through measurements of proton acceleration from grating targets
T. Ceccotti, V. Floquet, A. Sgattoni +25
The interaction of laser pulses with thin grating targets, having a periodic groove at the irradiated surface, has been experimentally investigated. Ultrahigh contrast ($\sim 10^{1…
