Intense lasers enable generating high-energy particle beams in university-scale
laboratories. With the direct laser acceleration (DLA) method, the leading part of the laser …

Relativistic positron beams are required for fundamental research in nonlinear strong field
QED, plasma physics, and laboratory astrophysics. Positrons are difficult to create and …

Intense laser fields interact very differently with micrometric rough surfaces than with flat
objects. The interaction features high laser energy absorption and increased emission of …

We demonstrate an approach successfully measuring very small nuclear isomeric excitation
cross sections (on the order of 10 to 100 picobarns) via laser–cluster interaction. The …

Nonlinear interaction of strong laser pulses with matter may lead to the excitation of self-
consistent motion of charges and generation of a magnetic field, remaining in the plasma …

We use analytical methods and particle-in-cell simulation to investigate the origin of
electrons accelerated by the process of direct laser acceleration driven by high-power laser …

The generation of collimated, high brilliance γ-ray beams from a structured plasma channel
target is studied by means of 2D PIC simulations. Simulation results reveal an optimum laser …

We investigate theoretically the possibility of achieving the stimulated amplification of
$\gamma $-rays. Herein, our approach circumvents the so-called``graser dilemma" through …

Positron creation and acceleration is one of the major challenges for constructing future
lepton colliders. On the one hand, conventional technology can provide a solution, but at a …

We propose a novel scheme for the population and depletion of nuclear isomers. The
scheme combines the $\gamma $-photons with energies $\gtrsim 10$ keV emitted during …
