PW lasers: Matter in extreme laser fields
- Abstract:
-
Petawatt (PW) lasers are unique tools to study plasmas under extreme conditions. There are many applications for these plasmas that potentially have an impact on a wide range of scientific disciplines. A number of these are highlighted here in this review including: fast ignition of fusion targets; high brightness x-ray harmonic generation from oscillating plasma surfaces and the production of super-strong magnetic fields. This is a rich field of investigation, and space prevents a detailed d...
