Using three-dimensional kinetic simulations, we examine the emission of collimated γ-ray
beams from structured laser-irradiated targets with a prefilled cylindrical channel and its …

Creation of electrons and positrons from light alone is a basic prediction of quantum
electrodynamics, but yet to be observed. Our simulations show that the required conditions …

We present the characterization of a Zero-bias Schottky diode-based Terahertz (THz)
detector up to 5.56 THz. The detector was operated with both a table-top system until 1.2 …

A high-intensity laser beam propagating through a dense plasma drives a strong current that
robustly sustains a strong quasistatic azimuthal magnetic field. The laser field efficiently …

Structures on the front surface of thin foil targets for laser-driven ion acceleration have been
proposed to increase the ion source maximum energy and conversion efficiency. While …

We report a significant enhancement in both the energy and the flux of relativistic electrons
accelerated by ultra-intense laser pulse irradiation (> 1× 10 21 W cm− 2) of near solid …

The interaction of ultrafast laser pulses of relativistic intensity with high aspect ratio
nanostructures can efficiently and volumetrically heat matter to an ultra-high-energy-density …

We show that both the flux and the cutoff energy of protons accelerated by ultraintense
lasers can be simultaneously increased when using targets consisting of thin layers of …

Using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) kinetic simulations, we examine the
impact of simulation dimensionality on the laser-driven electron acceleration and the …

Water-window X-rays are crucial in medical and biological applications, enabling the natural-
contrast imaging of biological cells without external staining. However, water-window X-ray …
