Scholars worldwide leverage science gateways/virtual research environments (VREs) for a
wide variety of research and education endeavors spanning diverse scientific fields …

The substantial angular divergence of electron beams produced by direct laser acceleration
(DLA) is often considered as an inherent negative feature of the mechanism. The divergence …

A solid density target irradiated by a high-intensity laser pulse can become relativistically
transparent, which then allows it to sustain an extremely strong laser-driven longitudinal …

We present the first 3D fully kinetic simulations of laser driven sheath-based ion acceleration
with a kilotesla-level applied magnetic field. The application of a strong magnetic field …

The Virtual Data Collaboratory is a federated data cyberinfrastructure designed to drive data-
intensive, interdisciplinary, and collaborative research that will impact researchers …

We report on progress in the understanding of the effects of kilotesla-level applied magnetic
fields on relativistic laser–plasma interactions. Ongoing advances in magnetic-field …

A high energy density plasma embedded in a neutral gas is able to launch an outward-
propagating nonlinear electrostatic ionization wave that traps energetic electrons. The …

Recent advances in magnetic field generation have made experimentally accessible new
regimes in magnetized high energy density physics. However, relatively little is currently …

Quantum materials research is a rapidly growing domain of materials research, seeking
novel compounds whose electronic properties are born from the uniquely quantum aspects …

Using simulations, we demonstrate that an applied 100 T-level magnetic field can restrict the
expansion of a relativistic, high energy density plasma into a surrounding neutral gas …
