Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily
increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the applicative potential and in the perspective …

Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-
energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing …

This paper presents a systematic investigation of an ultrashort pulse laser acceleration of
protons that yields unprecedented maximum proton energies of 17 MeV at a table-top Ti …

The spatial structure and temporal evolution of megagauss magnetic fields generated by
interactions of up to 4 laser beams with matter were studied with an innovative, time-gated …

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. The energy density of these fields is typically
comparable to the energy density of the fluid motions of the plasma in which they are …

A distinctive way of quantitatively imaging inertial fusion implosions has resulted in the
characterization of two different types of electromagnetic configurations and in the …

Magnetic reconnection in a relativistic electron magnetization regime was observed in a
laboratory plasma produced by a high-intensity, large energy, picoseconds laser pulse …

Developments in machine learning promise to ameliorate some of the challenges of
modeling complex physical systems through neural-network-based surrogate models. High …

Proton imaging is commonly used to reveal the electric and magnetic fields that are found in
high energy density plasmas. Presented here is an analysis of this technique that is directed …

Magnetic fields generated by a current flowing through a U-shaped coil connecting two
copper foils were measured using ultrafast proton radiography. Two∼ 1.25 kJ, 1-ns laser …
