The fundamental idea of Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA) is reviewed. An ultrafast
intense laser pulse drives coherent wakefields of relativistic amplitude with the high phase …

Direct-drive heavy ion beam (HIB) inertial confinement fusion (ICF), or HIF would be a
promising future energy source for society. Particle accelerators produce HIBs with precise …

Ion stopping in warm dense matter is a process of fundamental importance for the
understanding of the properties of dense plasmas, the realization and the interpretation of …

A concise overview is given on the impact of fusion neutrons on various classes of materials

In this work, the high-energy-density plasmas (HEDP) evolved from joule-class-femtosecond-
laser-irradiated nanowire-array (NWA) targets were numerically and experimentally studied …

Warm dense matter (WDM) describes an intermediate phase, between condensed matter
and classical plasmas, found in natural and man-made systems. In a laboratory setting …

Intense particle beams generated from the interaction of ultrahigh intensity lasers with
sample foils provide options in radiography, high-yield neutron sources, high-energy-density …

We report on the development of a highly directional, narrow energy band, short time
duration proton beam operating at high repetition rate. The protons are generated with an …
