Swarm of ultra-high intensity attosecond pulses from laser-plasma interaction
We report on the realistic scheme of intense X-rays and γ-radiation generation in a laser interaction with thin foils. It is based on the relativistic mirror concept, i.e., a flying thin plasma slab interacts with a counterpropagating laser pulse, reflecting part of it in the form of an intense ultra-short electromagnetic pulse having an up-shifted frequency. A series of relativistic mirrors is...
متن کاملControl of proton energy in ultra-high intensity laser-matter interaction
Recent breakthroughs in short pulse laser technology resulted in (i) generation of ultrahigh intensity (2x10 W/cm) and (ii) ultra-high contrast (10) short pulses at the Hercules facility of the University of Michigan, which has created the possibility of exploring a new regime of ion acceleration – the regime of Directed Coulomb Explosion (DCE). In this regime of sufficiently high laser intensi...
متن کاملRadiological characterisation of photon radiation from ultra-high-intensity laser-plasma and nuclear interactions.
With the increasing number of multi-terawatt (10(12) W) and petawatt (10(15) W) laser interaction facilities being built, the need for a detailed understanding of the potential radiological hazards is required and their impact on personnel is of major concern. Experiments at a number of facilities are being undertaken to achieve this aim. This paper describes the recent work completed on the Vu...
متن کاملA Plasma Lens for High Intensity Laser Focusing
A plasma lens based on a short hydrogen-filled alumina capillary discharge is experimentally characterized. For a plasma length of about 5mm, the focal length, measured from the plasma entrance, was ∼ 11 to 8mm for on axis densities of ∼ 2.5 to 5 ×1018cm−3, respectively. The plasma temperature away from the walls of the 1/2mm diameter capillary was estimated to be ∼ 8eV indicating that the plas...
متن کاملHigh harmonic generation in relativistic laser–plasma interaction
High harmonics generated due to the scattering of relativistic electrons from high intensity laser light is studied. The experiments are carried out with an Nd:Glass laser system with a peak intensity of 2310 W cm in underdense plasma. It is shown that, at high intensities, when the normalized electric field approaches unity, in addition to the conventional atomic harmonics from bound electrons...
