Burst Intensification by Singularity Emitting Radiation in Laser Plasma

Alexander S. Pirozhkov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Tatiana A. Pikuz +8

Burst Intensification by Singularity Emitting Radiation (BISER) appears as a bright temporally and spatially coherent Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) and x-ray source driven by compact m…

Absolute keV X-ray yield and conversion efficiency in over dense Si petawatt laser plasma

Sergey N. Ryazantsev, Artem S. Martynenko, Maksim V. Sedov +15

Laser-produced plasmas are bright, short sources of X-rays often used for time-resolved imaging and spectroscopy. Absolute measurement requires accurate knowledge of laser-to-x-ray…

Using Diffuse Scattering to Observe X-Ray-Driven Nonthermal Melting

N. J. Hartley, J. Grenzer, L. Huang +20

We present results from the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) XFEL facility, using a high intensity (W/cm) X-ray pump X-ray probe scheme to…

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…

High-charge divergent electron beam generation from high-intensity laser interaction with a gas-cluster target

P. Koester, G. C. Bussolino, G. Cristoforetti +7

We report on an experimental study on the interaction of a high-contrast 40 fs duration 2.5 TW laser pulse with an argon cluster target. A high-charge, homogeneous, large divergenc…

Soft X-ray harmonic comb from relativistic electron spikes

A. S. Pirozhkov, M. Kando, T. Zh. Esirkepov +37

We demonstrate a new high-order harmonic generation mechanism reaching the `water window' spectral region in experiments with multi-terawatt femtosecond lasers irradiating gas jets…
