A. Modena,Zulfikar Najmudin,A. E. Dangor,C. E. Clayton,K. A. Marsh,C. Joshi,Victor Malka,Christopher B. Darrow,Colin N. Danson,David Neely,F. N. Walsh +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report observations of relativistic plasma waves driven to breaking point by the Raman forward-scattering instability induced by short, high-intensity laser pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive update of the current status of ultra-high-power lasers and demonstrate how the technology has developed, and what technologies are to be deployed to get to these new regimes, and some critical issues facing their development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petawatt class lasers worldwide
TL;DR: The use of ultra-high intensity laser beams to achieve extreme material states in the laboratory has become almost routine with the development of the petawatt laser as mentioned in this paper, which has been constructed for specific research activities, including particle acceleration, inertial confinement fusion and radiation therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling of proton acceleration driven by petawatt-laser-plasma interactions
L. Robson,P. T. Simpson,R.J. Clarke,R.J. Clarke,Kenneth W. D. Ledingham,Filip Lindau,Olle Lundh,T. McCanny,P. Mora,David Neely,Claes-Göran Wahlström,Matthew Zepf,Paul McKenna +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the energy and intensity range over which proton scaling is experimentally investigated, up to 400 J and 6×10^20 Wcm−2 respectively, and find a slower proton scale than previously predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-100 MeV protons via a laser-driven transparency-enhanced hybrid acceleration scheme
A. Higginson,Ross Gray,M. King,R. J. Dance,S. D. R. Williamson,N. M. H. Butler,Robbie Wilson,R. Capdessus,Chris Armstrong,Chris Armstrong,James Green,Steve Hawkes,Steve Hawkes,P. Martin,Wei Wei,S. R. Mirfayzi,Xiaohui Yuan,Satyabrata Kar,Marco Borghesi,R. J. Clarke,David Neely,David Neely,Paul McKenna +22 more
TL;DR: A hybrid acceleration scheme based on the relativistic induced transparency mechanism using linearly polarised laser interaction with foil targets is demonstrated and its future implication in using high power lasers is explored.
