Energetic ions have been observed since the very first laser-plasma experiments. Their
origin was found to be the charge separation of electrons heated by thelaser, which transfers …

Proton imaging is commonly used to reveal the electric and magnetic fields that are found in
high energy density plasmas. Presented here is an analysis of this technique that is directed …

Recent laser-plasma experiments (Fox et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 111, 2013, 225002;
Huntington et al., Nat. Phys., vol. 11 (2), 2015, 173–176; Tzeferacos et al., Phys. Plasmas …

This paper presents an investigation of the self-focusing of cosh-Gaussian laser beam in a
plasma with linear absorption taking into account the combined effects of relativistic and …

The first stage of the petawatt excimer laser project started at the PN Lebedev Physical
Institute, implements a development of multiterawatt hybrid GARPUN-MTW laser facility for …

Laser-solid interaction can lead to the acceleration of protons to tens of MeV. Here, we show
that a strong enhancement of this acceleration can be achieved by splitting the laser pulse to …

In this paper, we have investigated the propagation characteristics of super-Gaussian laser
beam in magnetized plasma. Self-focusing of short pulse laser propagating along the …

The use of laser-accelerated protons as a particle probe for the detection of electric fields in
plasmas has led in recent years to a wealth of novel information regarding the ultrafast …

The current trends in stimulated Brillouin scattering and optical phase conjugation are
overviewed. This report is formed by the selected papers presented in the “Fifth International …

The collision of two laser generated plasma plumes can result, under appropriate
conditions, in the formation of a “stagnation layer.” The processes underlying this …
