We review common extensions of particle-in-cell (PIC) schemes which account for strong
field phenomena in laser-plasma interactions. After describing the physical processes of …

The paper examines the prospects of using laser plasma as a source of high-energy ions for
the purpose of hadron beam therapy—an approach which is based on both theory and …

The dynamics of the acceleration of ultrathin foil targets by the radiation pressure of
superintense, circularly polarized laser pulses is investigated by analytical modeling and …

The acceleration of sub-wavelength, solid-density plasma foils by the ultraintense radiation
pressure of circularly polarized laser pulses is investigated analytically and with simulations …

The generation of ultrastrong attosecond pulses through laser-plasma interactions offers the
opportunity to surpass the intensity of any known laboratory radiation source, giving rise to …
