Journal ArticleDOI
Measurements of energetic proton transport through magnetized plasma from intense laser interactions with solids
E.L. Clark,Karl Krushelnick,J. R. Davies,Matthew Zepf,Michael Tatarakis,Farhat Beg,A. Machacek,Peter Norreys,M. I. K. Santala,I. Watts,A. E. Dangor +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, up to 10(12) protons with energies greater than 2 MeV were observed to propagate through a 125 mm thick aluminum target and measurements of their angular deflection were made.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of picosecond laser–solid interactions up to 1019 W cm−2
F. N. Beg,A. R. Bell,A. E. Dangor,Colin N. Danson,AP Fews,Michael E. Glinsky,B. A. Hammel,Paul Lee,Peter Norreys,Michael Tatarakis +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of a 1053 nm picosecond laser pulse with a solid target has been studied for focused intensities of up to 1019 W cm−2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energetic heavy-ion and proton generation from ultraintense laser-plasma interactions with solids
E.L. Clark,Karl Krushelnick,Matthew Zepf,Farhat Beg,Michael Tatarakis,A. Machacek,M. I. K. Santala,I. Watts,Peter Norreys,A. E. Dangor +9 more
TL;DR: Observations of proton emission indicate significant structure in the energy spectrum as well as an angular emission profile which varies with energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the first experimental demonstration of high harmonic generation in the relativistic limit was obtained on the Vulcan Petawatt laser, achieving high conversion efficiencies (η>10−6 per harmonic) and bright emission (>1022 photons s−1 mm−2 mrad−2 (0.1% bandwidth)) at wavelengths <4nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photonuclear physics when a multiterawatt laser pulse interacts with solid targets
Kenneth W. D. Ledingham,I. Spencer,T. McCanny,Ravi P. Singhal,M. I. K. Santala,Edward B. Clark,I. Watts,Farhat Beg,Matthew Zepf,Karl Krushelnick,Michael Tatarakis,A. E. Dangor,Peter Norreys,Ric M. Allott,D. Neely,R. J. Clark,A. Machacek,Justin Wark,Alan J. Cresswell,David C.W. Sanderson,J. Magill +20 more
TL;DR: Laser-induced nuclear fission in 238U has been demonstrated, a process which was theoretically predicted at such laser intensities more than ten years ago.
