Real-time observation of ultrafast dynamics in the microcosm is a fundamental approach for
understanding the internal evolution of physical, chemical and biological systems. Tools for …

ELI-NP facility will enable for the first time the use of two 10 PW laser beams for quantum
electrodynamics (QED) experiments. The first beam will accelerate electrons to relativistic …

We report on the first successful proof-of-principle experiment to manipulate laser-matter
interactions on microscales using highly ordered Si microwire arrays. The interaction of a …

Structured light refers to the light field tailored by various degrees of freedom including
intensity, phase, and polarization states in both spatial and temporal domains, which may …

We present an experimental study investigating laser-driven proton acceleration via target
normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) over a target thickness range spanning the typical TNSA …

High-intensity laser–plasma interactions produce a wide array of energetic particles and
beams with promising applications. Unfortunately, the high repetition rate and high average …

Fluid targets are attractive for laser-driven ion acceleration at high-repetition-rate laser
facilities. In particular, liquid targets have several interesting features since they can …

For most laser-driven ion acceleration applications, a well-characterized intense ion beam
with a low divergence and a controllable energy spectrum produced at a high repetition rate …

We demonstrate high repetition-rate deuteron acceleration by irradiating a continuously
flowing, ambient temperature liquid heavy water jet with the high-intensity ALEPH laser. The …

We describe the first demonstration of plasma mirrors made using freely suspended, ultra-
thin films formed dynamically and in-situ. We also present novel particle-in-cell simulations …
