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…

Ion-motion-driven enhancement of energy coupling and stability in relativistic laser-microchannel interaction
K. Weichman, M. VanDusen-Gross, G. Bruhaug +5
For sufficiently short relativistic-intensity laser pulses, the disparity in time scales for electron and ion motion causes ions to behave as a fixed, neutralizing background. As t…

Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
