We review the modern state of research in a new scientific field that has emerged recently:
nuclear photonics. The name is primarily associated with the development of new …

The development of X-ray diffractometry at the turn of the 21st century is presented. The
review covers instrumentation development for structural studies based on the use of both …

Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is a novel acceleration technique with promising
prospects for both particle colliders and light sources. However, PWFA research has so far …

A collective, macroscopic signature to detect radiation friction in laser–plasma experiments
is proposed. In the interaction of superintense circularly polarized laser pulses with high …

We review studies of superintense laser interactions with solid targets where the generation
of propagating surface plasmons (or surface waves) plays a key role. These studies include …

The rate of energy transfer between electrons and phonons is investigated by a first-
principles framework for electron temperatures up to T e= 50,000 K while considering the …

Spatial distributions of electrons ionized and scattered from ultra-low-pressure gases are
proposed and experimentally demonstrated as a method to directly measure the intensity of …

The interaction of petawatt (1015 W) lasers with solid matter forms the basis for advanced
scientific applications such as table-top particle accelerators, ultrafast imaging systems and …

Abstract Time-Of-Flight (TOF) methods are very effective to detect particles accelerated in
laser-plasma interactions, but they show significant limitations when used in experiments …

There are now more Particle-in-Cell (PIC) codes than ever before that researchers use to
simulate intense laser–plasma interactions. To date, there have been relatively few direct …
