Probing the quantum vacuum with ultra intense laser pulses
B. Manuel Hegelich, Gerard Mourou, Johann Rafelski
This article presents: 1) The theoretical background of strong field physics and vacuum structure and stability; 2) The instrumental developments in the area of pulse lasers and co…
Fast ignition driven by quasi-monoenergetic ions: Optimal ion type and reduction of ignition energies with an ion beam array
J. J. Honrubia, J. C. Fernandez, B. M. Hegelich +2
Fast ignition of inertial fusion targets driven by quasi-monoenergetic ion beams is investigated by means of numerical simulations. Light and intermediate ions such as lithium, car…
Scaling of laser-driven ion energies in the relativistic transparent regime
D. Jung, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +12
Laser-driven ions have compelling properties and their potential use for medical applications has attracted a huge global interest. One of the major challenges of these application…
