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…

Exotic dense matter states pumped by relativistic laser plasma in the radiation dominant regime

J. Colgan, J. Abdallah, A. Ya. Faenov +18

The properties of high energy density plasma are under increasing scrutiny in recent years due to their importance to our understanding of stellar interiors, the cores of giant pla…

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…

5.5-7.5 MeV Proton generation by a moderate intensity ultra-short laser interaction with H2O nano-wire targets

A. Zigler, T. Palchan, N. Bruner +8

We report on the first generation of 5.5-7.5 MeV protons by a moderate intensity short-pulse laser (4.5 \times 1017 W/cm^2, 50 fsec) interacting with H2O nano-wires (snow) deposite…

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,…
