Novel techniques of imaging interferometry analysis to study gas and plasma density for laser-plasma experiments
F. Filippi, M. Cipriani, S. Mastrostefano +2
Laser-plasma based experiments are always more demanding about the plasma features which need to be generated during the interaction. This is valid for laser-plasma acceleration as…
Experimental and simulative study on laser irradiation of 3D-printed micro-structures at intensities relevant for inertial confinement fusion
M. Cipriani, F. Consoli, M. Scisciò +7
Inertial confinement fusion requires a constant search for the most effective materials for improving the efficiency of the compression of the capsule and of the laser-to-target en…
Laser initiated p-11B fusion reactions in petawatt high-repetition-rates laser facilities
M. Scisciò, G. Petringa, Z. Zhu +43
Driving the nuclear fusion reaction p+11B -> 3 alpha + 8.7 MeV in laboratory conditions, by interaction between high-power laser pulses and matter, has become a popular field of re…
Laser Interactions with Gas Jets: EMP Emission and Nozzle Damage
Philip Wykeham Bradford, Valeria Ospina-Bohorquez, Michael Ehret +18
Understanding the physics of electromagnetic pulse emission and nozzle damage is critical for the long-term operation of laser experiments with gas targets, particularly at facilit…
