The investigation of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of femtosecond laser pulses by
means of laser-produced plasmas is surveyed. This kind of harmonic generation is an …

An intense collimated beam of high-energy protons is emitted normal to the rear surface of
thin solid targets irradiated at 1 PW power and peak intensity 3× 10 20 W cm− 2. Up to 48 J …

The generation of extremely bright coherent X-ray pulses in the femtosecond and
attosecond regime is currently one of the most exciting frontiers of physics–allowing, for the …

We report on the acceleration of impurity-free quasimononenergetic proton beams from an
initially gaseous hydrogen target driven by an intense infrared (λ= 10 μ m) laser. The front …

Novel measurements of electromagnetic radiation above 10 MeV are presented for ultra
intense laser pulse interactions with solids. A bright, highly directional source of rays was …

We report the first direct measurements of total absorption of short laser pulses on solid
targets in the ultrarelativistic regime. The data show an enhanced absorption at intensities …

Laser hole boring and relativistic electron transport into plasma of 10 times critical density is
studied by means of 2D particle-in-cell simulation. At intensities of I 0 λ 2= 10 20 W cm− 2 μ …

Neutron fluxes of up to were measured when planar deuterated targets were irradiated with
1.3 ps FWHM (full width at half maximum) laser pulses at a wavelength of 1054 nm and …

Light beams with helical phase-fronts are known to carry orbital angular momentum (OAM)
and provide an additional degree of freedom to beams of coherent light. While OAM beams …

This acts as a reference work for the field of high intensity and/or high plasma density laser-
plasma interactions for years to come. It covers everything from single particles to dense …
