Theory of Relativistic Surface Plasmon Excitation on Smooth Surface by High-Intensity Laser
Bifeng Lei, Bin Qiao, Matt Zepf +2
We present a classical theory of relativistic surface plasmon (RSP) excitation at a smooth plasma-vacuum interface driven by either a ponderomotive force or an electric field of an…

Diagnosing the impact of relativistically intense prepulse on few-picosecond timeframes for short scale length laser-matter interactions
H. M. Huddleston, M. Yeung, C. R. J. Fitzpatrick +8
With the rapid proliferation of multi-petawatt (MPW) lasers globally, a new era of high-energy density science promises to emerge within the next decade. However, precise control o…
