Burst intensification by singularity emitting radiation in multi-stream flows

A. S. Pirozhkov, T. Zh. Esirkepov, T. A. Pikuz +20

In various media the elementary components can emit traveling waves such as electromagnetic, gravitational or acoustic types. If these elementary emitters are synchronized, the res…

Ion Acceleration via "Nonlinear Vacuum Heating" by the Laser Pulse Obliquely Incident on a Thin Foil Target

A. Yogo, S. V. Bulanov, M. Mori +9

Dependence of the energy of ions accelerated during interaction of the laser pulse obliquelly incident on the thin foil target on the laser polarization is studied experimentally a…

Prepulse and amplified spontaneous emission effects on the interaction of a petawatt class laser with thin solid targets

Timur Zh. Esirkepov, James K. Koga, Atsushi Sunahara +17

When a finite contrast petawatt laser pulse irradiates a micron-thick foil, a prepulse (including amplified spontaneous emission) creates a preplasma, where an ultrashort relativis…

X-ray harmonic comb from relativistic electron spikes

Alexander S. Pirozhkov, Masaki Kando, Timur Zh. Esirkepov +24

X-ray devices are far superior to optical ones for providing nanometre spatial and attosecond temporal resolutions. Such resolution is indispensable in biology, medicine, physics,…
