Recent theoretical and experimental research with short-pulse, high-intensity lasers is
surveyed with particular emphasis on new physical processes that occur in interactions with …

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the
theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …

Hard x-ray spectra (10–100 keV) created in high contrast, 400 fs, laser pulse interaction with
solid targets, have been studied for laser intensities in the 10 17–10 19 W/cm 2 range. The …

During the last 15 years, Jaser-produced plasmas have been extensively studied for, among
other aspects, their potential application to inertial confinement fusion (ICF). I Nanosecond …

Hard x‐ray emission in the range of 100 keV has been measured from plasmas produced by
irradiation of solid targets with ps laser pulses up to 7× 1017 W/cm2. The experimental data …

We present results of the characterization of an ultrafast x-ray streak camera, based on
Photonis (formerly Philips Photonics) P860 tube, developed for use in ultrashort laser …

The application of laser-based X-ray sources to medical imaging has been investigated
theoretically and experimentally. Two modalities were emphasized: mammography and dual …

This paper reviews recent progresses in ultrafast laser-based X-ray sources and their
potential applications to high throughput X-ray imaging. Prospects for the utilization of X-rays …

A laser‐produced plasma (LPP) x‐ray source with possible application in mammography
was created by focusing a laser beam on a Mo target. A Table‐Top‐Terawatt (TTT) laser …

A high-power laser facility has been established at the Lund Institute of Technology,
Sweden, available to national groups and their international collaboration partners. The …
