Laser heating of large noble gas clusters : from the resonant to the relativistic interaction regimes (2008)

Gumbrell, ET, Moore, AS, Clark, EL, Garbett, WJ, Comley, AJ, Edwards, RD, ...

Wide ranging measurements of sub-picosecond laser interactions with noble gas cluster targets have been conducted in order to help clarify the nature and extent of the underlying laser-plasma...

Optical probing of high-intensity laser interactions with underdense plasmas using the VULCAN petawatt laser facility (2006)

Nilson, PM, Mangles, SPD, Willingale, L, Kaluza, M, Thomas, AGR, Najmudin, Z, ...

Collimated multi-MeV ion beams from high-intensity laser interactions with underdense plasma (2006)

Willingale, L, Mangles, SPD, Nilson, PM, Clarke, RJ, Dangor, AE, Kaluza, MC, ...

A beam of multi-MeV helium ions has been observed from the interaction of a short-pulse high-intensity laser pulse with underdense helium plasma. The ion beam was found to have a maximum energy for...

Magnetic reconnection and plasma dynamics in two-beam laser-solid interactions (2006)

Nilson, PM, Willingale, L, Kaluza, MC, Kamperidis, C, Minardi, S, Wei, M, ...

We present measurements of a magnetic reconnection in a plasma created by two laser beams (1 ns pulse duration, 1x10(15) W cm(-2)) focused in close proximity on a planar solid target. Simultaneous...
