Motivated by the development of next-generation heavy-ion sources, we have investigated
the ionization and acceleration dynamics of an ultraintense laser-driven high-Z silver target …

Radiation protection in ultra-intense and ultra-short laser facilities is becoming increasingly
important as both the number and the intensity of the laser facilities increase rapidly with the …

Particle and radiation sources are widely employed in manifold applications. In the last
decades, the upcoming of versatile, energetic, high-brilliance laser-based sources, as …

The rapid heating of a thin titanium foil by a high intensity, subpicosecond laser is studied by
using a 2D narrow-band x-ray imaging and x-ray spectroscopy. A novel monochromatic …

Pulsed power technology provides a platform for investigating plasmas in strong magnetic
fields using a university-scale machine. Presented here are methods for generating and …

In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative laser-based x-ray fluorescence
(XRF) combined with particle-induced x-ray emission (PIXE)(called XPIF for x-ray and …

We present simulations, which predict significantly higher laser to x-ray efficiencies than
those previously found in high-intensity (10 20–10 22 W cm− 2⁠) laser–solid simulations …

Characteristics of fast electrons generated in an intense laser-solid target interaction are
studied by modeling angularly resolved bremsstrahlung measurements with a hybrid …

High-energy bremsstrahlung emission can occur owing to electron scattering in the nuclei or
ions Coulomb field following the relativistic-electron generation in high-intensity laser …

Laser-driven ion acceleration is often analyzed assuming that ionization reaches a steady
state early in the interaction of the laser pulse with the target. This assumption breaks down …
