R. Snavely,R. Snavely,M. H. Key,S. P. Hatchett,Thomas E. Cowan,Markus Roth,T. W. Phillips,M. A. Stoyer,E. A. Henry,T. C. Sangster,M. S. Singh,Scott Wilks,A. J. Mackinnon,A. A. Offenberger,Deanna Marie Pennington,K. Yasuike,A. B. Langdon,Barbara F. Lasinski,J. Johnson,Michael D. Perry,E. M. Campbell +20 more
TL;DR: An intense collimated beam of high-energy protons is emitted normal to the rear surface of thin solid targets irradiated at 1 PW power and peak intensity 3x10(20) W cm(-2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Energetic proton generation in ultra-intense laser–solid interactions
Scott Wilks,A. B. Langdon,Thomas E. Cowan,Markus Roth,M. S. Singh,Stephen P. Hatchett,M. H. Key,Deanna Marie Pennington,A. J. Mackinnon,R. Snavely +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to explain the physical process present that will explain the presence of these energetic protons, as well as explain the number, energy, and angular spread of the protons observed in experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron, photon, and ion beams from the relativistic interaction of Petawatt laser pulses with solid targets
Stephen P. Hatchett,Curtis G. Brown,Thomas E. Cowan,Eugene A. Henry,Joy S. Johnson,Michael H. Key,Jeffrey A. Koch,A. Bruce Langdon,Barbara F. Lasinski,Richard W. Lee,A. J. Mackinnon,Deanna Marie Pennington,Michael D. Perry,T. W. Phillips,Markus Roth,T. Craig Sangster,M. S. Singh,R. A. Snavely,M. A. Stoyer,Scott Wilks,K. Yasuike +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy content, spectra, and angular patterns of the photon, electron, and ion radiations have all been diagnosed in a number of ways, including several novel (to laser physics) nuclear activation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculation of photon dispersion relations.
John B. Pendry,A. J. Mackinnon +1 more
TL;DR: A new methodology enables the band structure and, for the first time, transmission coefficients of complex dielectric materials to be calculated and excellent agreement with experiment is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-Parameter Scaling of Localization Length and Conductance in Disordered Systems
A. J. Mackinnon,B. Kramer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the scaling behavior of the conductance of disordered systems is determined and the localization length for disordered system is calculated with a new recursive method, based on the assumptions about the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ function made in recent analytical work.
