PIConGPU modeling of nanoplasma formation in helium nanodroplets irradiated by intense femtosecond laser pulses
Cristian Medina, Klaus Steiniger, Brian Edward Marre +15
Helium nanodroplets provide a unique and versatile platform for investigating strong-field-driven nanoplasma dynamics. In this work, we present large-scale, GPU-accelerated particl…

Kinetic Simulations of Laser-Driven Compression and Heating of Magnetised Cryogenic Hydrogen Targets using PIConGPU
Filip OptoÅowicz, Klaus Steiniger, David Blaschke +2
We present fully kinetic two-dimensional, three-velocity-component (2D3V) PIConGPU simulations of a three-beam direct-drive interaction with a 15 m solid-density cryogenic hydr…

Microscopy X-ray Imaging enriched with Small Angle X-ray Scattering for few nanometer resolution reveals shock waves and compression in intense short pulse laser irradiation of solids
Thomas Kluge, Arthur Hirsch-Passicos, Jannis Schulz +23
Understanding how laser pulses compress solids into high-energy-density states requires diagnostics that simultaneously resolve macroscopic geometry and nanometer-scale structure.…
