    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...

    Vision of a fully laser-driven \({\sf n\gamma}{-}{\sf m\gamma}\) collider

    The use is suggested of a laser-accelerated dense electron sheet with an energy of ( \(E=\tilde{\gamma} mc^2\) ) as a re...

    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...
