Energetic heavy-ion and proton generation from ultraintense laser-plasma interactions with solids
Physical Review Letters 85:8 (2000) 1654-1657
Abstract:
The ultraintense laser plasma interaction experiments have produced observations of new phenomenon such as: the acceleration of electrons to high energies; production of intense proton beams; and the generation of magnetic fields. Observations of proton emission indicate significant structure in the energy spectrum and angular emission profile which varies with energy. The two different components of ion emission observed are a high energy component and a low energy component.Inner-shell soft X-ray lasers in Ne-like ions driven by optical field ionization
Optics Communications 182:1-3 (2000) 209-219
Abstract:
A novel short-wavelength laser based upon monopole excitation of inner-shell electrons in Ne-like ions following optical field ionization with circularly polarized radiation is discussed. Calculations of the small-signal gain are presented for one such ion, Ne-like Ar, for which a small-signal gain of 13.7 cm-1 is predicted on the 2s → 2p hole transition at 15.8 nm for an Ar pressure of 50 mbar. Extensions of this approach to other inner-shell transitions are suggested. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
