Spectral modification of shock accelerated ions using hydrodynamically shaped gas target

O. Tresca, N. P. Dover, N. Cook +5

We report on reproducible shock acceleration from irradiation of a $λ = 10$ $μ$ m CO $_{2}$ laser on optically shaped H $_{2}$ and He gas targets. A low energy laser prepulse ($I\lesssim10…

Buffered spectrally-peaked proton beams in the relativistic-transparency regime

N. P. Dover, M. J. V. Streeter, C. A. J. Palmer +23

Spectrally-peaked proton beams ( $E_{p} \approx 8$ MeV, $Δ E \approx 4$ MeV) have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( $> 1 0^{19}$ Wcm $^{- 2}$ ) with ultrathin CH foi…

Optical probing of shocks driven into overdense plasmas by laser hole-boring

N. P. Dover, C. A. J. Palmer, M. Babzien +11

Observations of the interaction of an intense λ0 \approx 10 μm laser pulse with near-critical overdense plasmas (ne = 1.8 - 3 nc) are presented. For the first time, transverse opti…
