Cylindrical compression of thin wires by irradiation with a Joule-class short pulse laser
Alejandro Laso Garcia, Long Yang, Victorien Bouffetier +14
Equation of state measurements at Jovian or stellar conditions are currently conducted by dynamic shock compression driven by multi-kilojoule multi-beam nanosecond-duration lasers.…

Visualizing Plasmons and Ultrafast Kinetic Instabilities in Laser-Driven Solids using X-ray Scattering
Paweł Ordyna, Carsten Bähtz, Erik Brambrink +27
Ultra-intense lasers that ionize and accelerate electrons in solids to near the speed of light can lead to kinetic instabilities that alter the laser absorption and subsequent elec…

Probing the dynamics of solid density micro-wire targets after ultra-intense laser irradiation using a free-electron laser
Thomas Kluge, Michael Bussmann, Eric Galtier +22
In this paper, we present an experiment that explores the plasma dynamics of a 7 micron diameter carbon wire after being irradiated with a near-relativistic-intensity short pulse l…
