opaque plasma becomes intense enough to drive electrons at relativistic speeds, dropping
the effective electron density of the plasma below critical so that it becomes transparent. RT
in solid-density targets using ultraintense light (> 10 20 W/cm 2) is still an active research
area, with many studies focusing on the turn-on time of the interaction. A recent pump-probe
experiment performed at the Scarlet Laser Facility has measured the turn-on and turn-off …
