A laser-plasma interaction experiment for solar burst studies

J. -R. Marquès, C. Briand, F. Amiranoff +7

A new experimental platform based on laser-plasma interaction is proposed to explore the fundamental processes of wave coupling at the origin of interplanetary radio emissions. It…

Vlasov simulation of laser-driven shock acceleration and ion turbulence

Anna Grassi, Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni +1

We present a Vlasov, i.e. a kinetic Eulerian simulation study of nonlinear collisionless ion-acoustic shocks and solitons excited by an intense laser interacting with an overdense…

Laser-Driven Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: Plasmonics Effects and Three-Dimensional Structures

Andrea Sgattoni, Stefano Sinigardi, Luca Fedeli +2

The acceleration of dense targets driven by the radiation pressure of high-intensity lasers leads to a Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) with rippling of the interaction surface. U…
