Optical Probing of Ultrafast Laser-Induced Solid-to-Overdense-Plasma Transitions
Yasmina Azamoum, Georg Alexander Becker, Sebastian Keppler +11
Understanding the target dynamics during its interaction with a relativistic ultrashort laser pulse is a challenging fundamental multi-physics problem involving at least atomic and…
Generation of keV hot near-solid density plasma states at high contrast laser-matter interaction
O. N. Rosmej, Z. Samsonova, S. Höfer +13
We present experimental evidence of ultra-high energy density plasma states with the keV bulk electron temperatures and near-solid electron densities generated during the interacti…
Modeling ultrafast shadowgraphy in laser-plasma interaction experiments
E. Siminos, S. Skupin, A. Sävert +3
Ultrafast shadowgraphy is a new experimental technique that uses few cycle laser pulses to image density gradients in a rapidly evolving plasma. It enables structures that move at…
Characterization and Application of Hard X-Ray Betatron Radiation Generated by Relativistic Electrons from a Laser-Wakefield Accelerator
Michael Schnell, Alexander Sävert, Ingo Uschmann +3
The necessity for compact table-top x-ray sources with higher brightness, shorter wavelength and shorter pulse duration has led to the development of complementary sources based on…
Direct observation of the injection dynamics of a laser wakefield accelerator using few-femtosecond shadowgraphy
A. Sävert, S. P. D. Mangles, M. Schnell +13
We present few-femtosecond shadowgraphic snapshots taken during the non-linear evolution of the plasma wave in a laser wakefield accelerator with transverse synchronized few-cycle…
Thomson backscattering from laser generated, relativistically moving high-density electron layers
Athena E. Paz, Stephan Kuschel, Christian Rödel +4
We show experimentally that XUV radiation is produced when a laser pulse is Thomson backscattered from sheets of relativistic electrons which are formed at the rear-surface of a fo…
