Abstract: Low-density foams of low-/mid-Z materials have been previously proposed to mitigate laser imprint for direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF). For foam densities above the critical density of the drive laser, the mechanism of laser-imprint mitigation… read more here.

Abstract: A novel practical and efficient way of obtaining intense attosecond pulses is proposed, where the near-critical-density (NCD) plasma target satisfying n0/a0nc ≈ 1 is used. The unique interaction dynamics in NCD plasmas have been identified… read more here.
