    Laser-driven x-ray and proton micro-source and application to simultaneous single-shot bi-modal radiographic imaging

    Radiographic imaging with x-rays and protons is an omnipresent tool in basic research and applications in industry, material science and medical diagnostics. The information contained in both modalities can of...

    Coherent synchrotron emission from electron nanobunches formed in relativistic laser–plasma interactions

    Extreme ultraviolet and X-ray radiation can be generated when the high harmonics of incident laser light are reflected by a dense plasma, the so-called relativistically oscillating mirror mechanism. Theoretica...

    Large temporal window contrast measurement using optical parametric amplification and low-sensitivity detectors

    To address few-shot pulse contrast measurement, we present a correlator coupling the high gain of an optical parametric amplification scheme with large pulse tilt. This combination enables a low sensitivity ch...

    First observation of quasi-monoenergetic electron bunches driven out of ultra-thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) foils

    Electrons have been accelerated from ultra-thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) foils by an ultrahigh-intensity laser pulse. A distinct quasi-monoenergetic electron spectrum peaked at 30 MeV is observed at a targe...

    Source-size measurements and charge distributions of ions accelerated from thin foils irradiated by high-intensity laser pulses

    We report on measurements of source sizes and charge state distributions of ions accelerated from thin foils irradiated by ultrashort (100–300 fs) high-intensity (1-6×1019 W/cm2) laser pulses. The source sizes of...
