Paul McKenna,David Carroll,Olle Lundh,F. Nürnberg,K. Markey,S. Bandyopadhyay,Dimitri Batani,R. G. Evans,R. Jafer,Satyabrata Kar,David Neely,D.A. Pepler,Mark N. Quinn,R. Redaelli,Markus Roth,Claes-Göran Wahlström,Xiaohui Yuan,Matthew Zepf +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the properties of high energy protons accelerated during ultraintense, picosecond laser-irradiation of thin foil targets as a function of preplasma expansion at the target front surface.

TL;DR: The first demonstration of laser action in ruby was made in 1960 by T. H. Maiman of Hughes Research Laboratories, USA as mentioned in this paper, and the contribution of the UK has made to the advancement of the technology, the development of systems and components and their exploitation over the last 60 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Referencing Spectral Interferometric Probing of the Onset Time of Relativistic Transparency in Intense Laser-Foil Interactions
S. D. R. Williamson,Robbie Wilson,M. King,M. J. Duff,Bruno Gonzalez-Izquierdo,Z. E. Davidson,A. Higginson,Nicola Booth,S. J. Hawkes,David Neely,David Neely,Ross Gray,Paul McKenna +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and effective approach to diagnose the time during the interaction at which the foil becomes transparent to the laser light, providing a route to optically controlling and optimizing ion acceleration and radiation generation is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast electron transport patterns in intense laser-irradiated solids diagnosed by modeling measured multi-MeV proton beams
D. A. MacLellan,David Carroll,Ross Gray,Nicola Booth,Bruno Gonzalez-Izquierdo,H. W. Powell,Graeme Scott,David Neely,Paul McKenna +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the spatial intensity distribution of the beam of protons accelerated from the rear side of a solid target irradiated by an intense (>10 Wcm) laser pulse.
Journal ArticleDOI
