We introduce a novel, gaseous target optical shaping laser set-up, capable to generate short
scale length, near-critical target profiles via generated colliding blast waves. These profiles …

Generating thin and high density plasma slabs at a high repetition rate is a key issue for ultra-
high intensity laser applications, such as plasma photonics, electron acceleration by few …

We propose obtaining polarized proton beams based on CO 2-laser-driven collisionless
shock acceleration (CSA) of the pre-polarized HCl gas. By tailoring the density profile of the …

We present an integrated study on the scalability and performance of particle-in-cell (PIC)
code simulations on CPU and GPU architectures of high parallelization focused on target …

It is important to accurately determine the shock wave pressure in a free-field ammunition
explosion for evaluating the ammunition damage power. In this study, finite element …

This research work emphasizes the capability of delivering optically shaped targets through
the interaction of nanosecond laser pulses with high-density gas-jet profiles, and explores …

A new scheme is proposed to enhance the conversion efficiency (CE) of soft x-rays (0.1–1.5
keV) generated by irradiating a double-gold-foil target using double laser pulses to collide …

Colliding of two high Mach-number quantum degenerate plasmas is one of the most
essential components in the double-cone ignition (DCI) inertial confinement fusion scheme …

Laser-induced particle acceleration is a subject of great interest due to its numerous
potential applications, among others in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) and in biomedical …
