We present measurements of the hard x-ray emission from targets irradiated at relativistic
laser intensities, with the objective of comprehensively characterizing source properties …

Bremsstrahlung emission from interactions of short ultra-intense laser pulses with solid foils
is studied using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. A module for simulating bremsstrahlung …

During the interaction of an intense picosecond laser pulse with a plasma created by a
plastic foil ablated by a nanosecond laser pulse, relativistic electrons are produced. A metal …

Suprathermal electrons are routinely generated in high-intensity laser produced plasmas via
instabilities driven by non-linear laser-plasma interaction. Their accurate characterization is …

We present experimental evidence of ultra-high energy density plasma states with the keV
bulk electron temperatures and near-solid electron densities generated during the …

Broadband terahertz (THz) radiation with extremely high peak power, generated by the
interaction of a femtosecond laser with a thin solid target, has been investigated via particle …

A Talbot–Lau X-ray Deflectometer (TXD) was implemented in the OMEGA EP laser facility to
characterize the evolution of an irradiated foil ablation front by mapping electron densities> …

The interaction of a high intensity laser pulse on the preplasma of a high-Z solid target
produced by the pulse's pedestal generates high-energy electrons. These electrons …

We demonstrate the potential of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) to advance the
understanding of complex plasma dynamics by allowing for the first time nanometer and …

We report the femtosecond time-resolved dynamics of relativistic electron pulses in
ultraintense laser-foil interactions, by characterizing the terahertz self-radiation with single …
