On the control of electron heating for optimal laser radiation pressure ion acceleration
H. -G. Jason Chou, Anna Grassi, Siegfried H. Glenzer +1
We study the onset of electron heating in intense laser-solid interactions and its impact on the spectral quality of radiation pressure accelerated ions in both hole boring and lig…
Shock Hugoniot of diamond from 3 to 80 TPa
Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, Amy Lazicki +13
The principal Hugoniot of carbon, initially diamond, was measured from 3 to 80 TPa (30 to 800 million atmospheres), the highest pressure ever achieved, using radiography of spheric…
MP3 White Paper 2021 -- Research Opportunities Enabled by Co-locating Multi-Petawatt Lasers with Dense Ultra-Relativistic Electron Beams
Sebastian Meuren, David A. Reis, Roger Blandford +11
Novel emergent phenomena are expected to occur under conditions exceeding the QED critical electric field, where the vacuum becomes unstable to electron-positron pair production. T…
Magnetic field amplification by a nonlinear electron streaming instability
J. R. Peterson, S. Glenzer, F. Fiuza
Magnetic field amplification by relativistic streaming plasma instabilities is central to a wide variety of high-energy astrophysical environments as well as to laboratory scenario…
Probing ultrafast laser plasma processes inside solids with resonant small-angle X-ray scattering
Lennart Gaus, Lothar Bischoff, Michael Bussmann +33
Extreme states of matter exist throughout the universe e.g. inside planetary cores, stars or astrophysical jets. Such conditions are generated in the laboratory in the interaction…
Laser-driven neutron source from high temperature D-D fusion reactions
Xuejing Jiao, C. Curry, M. Gauthier +13
We report a laser-driven neutron source with high yield (/J) and high peak flux (/cm/s) derived from high-temperature deuteron-deuteron fusion reactions. The n…
