The advent of ultraintense laser pulses generated by the technique of chirped pulse
amplification (CPA) along with the development of high-fluence laser materials has opened …

Accurate x-ray scattering techniques to measure the physical properties of dense plasmas
have been developed for applications in high energy density physics. This class of …

The effects of an explicit temperature dependence in the exchange correlation (XC) free-
energy functional upon calculated properties of matter in the warm dense regime are …

We report a new attractive force between ions that are shielded by degenerate electrons in
quantum plasmas. Specifically, we show that the electric potential around an isolated ion …

Electron transport within solid targets, irradiated by a high-intensity short-pulse laser, has
been measured by imaging K α radiation from high-Z layers (Cu, Ti) buried in low-Z (CH, Al) …

Metal foil targets were irradiated with 1 μ m wavelength (λ) laser pulses of 5 ps duration and
focused intensities (I) of up to 4× 10 19 W cm-2, giving values of both I λ 2 and pulse …

A novel fast electron beam emitting along the surface of a target irradiated by intense laser
pulses is observed. The beam is found to appear only when the plasma density scale length …

Laser produced hot electron transport in an overdense plasma is studied by three-
dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Hot electron currents into the plasma generate …

Fast ignition is an alternate concept in inertial confinement fusion, which has the potential for
easier ignition and greater energy multiplication. If realized, it could improve the prospects …

Measurements of energetic electron beams generated from ultrahigh intensity laser
interactions<? format?>(I> 10 19 W/cm 2) with dense plasmas are discussed. These …
