Open AccessSingle-shot electron radiography using a laser–plasma accelerator
Contact and projection electron radiography of static targets was demonstrated using a laser–plasma accelerator driven by a kilojoule, picosecond-class laser as a source of relativistic electrons with an avera...

Open AccessFocussing Protons from a Kilojoule Laser for Intense Beam Heating using Proximal Target Structures
Proton beams driven by chirped pulse amplified lasers have multi-picosecond duration and can isochorically and volumetrically heat material samples, potentially providing an approach for creating samples of wa...

Open AccessDirect observation of imploded core heating via fast electrons with super-penetration scheme
Fast ignition (FI) is a promising approach for high-energy-gain inertial confinement fusion in the laboratory. To achieve ignition, the energy of a short-pulse laser is required to be delivered efficiently to ...

Open AccessAnomalous material-dependent transport of focused, laser-driven proton beams
Intense lasers can accelerate protons in sufficient numbers and energy that the resulting beam can heat materials to exotic warm (10 s of eV temperature) states. Here we show with experimental data that a laser-d...

Time-resolved compression of a capsule with a cone to high density for fast-ignition laser fusion
The advent of high-intensity lasers enables us to recreate and study the behaviour of matter under the extreme densities and pressures that exist in many astrophysical objects. It may also enable us to develop...

Measuring huge magnetic fields
Huge magnetic fields are predicted1,2,3,4 to exist in the high-density region of plasmas produced during intense laser–matter interaction, near the critical-density surface where most laser absorption occurs, but...
