The petawatt (PW) laser has experienced a rapid development in the past two decades, and
tens of giant facilities have been constructed worldwide. After realizing 10–100 PW, it seems …

Fast isochoric heating of a pre-compressed plasma core with a high-intensity short-pulse
laser is an attractive and alternative approach to create ultra-high-energy-density states like …

An ultraintense femtosecond laser pulse was used, for the first time, to produce a strong
magnetic field with controlled shapes by interactions with a capacitor-coil target with high …

A strong quasistationary magnetic field is generated in hollow targets with curved internal
surface under the action of a relativistically intense picosecond laser pulse. Experimental …

Laser experiments are becoming established as tools for astronomical research that
complement observations and theoretical modeling. Localized strong magnetic fields have …

This paper presents the calibration of two different kinds of image plates (IPs) for detecting
electrons with kinetic energy in the range of 150 keV–1.75 MeV. The calibration was …

A right-hand circularly polarized electromagnetic wave can propagate in a sufficiently
magnetized plasma of any density without encountering cutoff in the whistler mode. With the …

The well-known schemes (eg Brunel, resonance absorption, JxB heating etc.) couple laser
energy to the lighter electron species of the plasma. In this work, a fundamentally new …

Thermal fusion plasmas initiated by standing whistler waves are investigated numerically by
two-and one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. When a standing whistler wave …

Ion fast ignition (IFI) is one of the proposed options for inertial fusion in which the ignition of
nuclear fuel is initiated by an intense ion beam. In this paper, the properties of a laser …
