A new technique is described for the isochoric heating (i.e., heating at constant volume) of matter to high energy-density plasma states (>105 J/g) on a picosec

We have performed a series of experiments developing the techniques of volumetric, isochoric heating of matter to high energy density states, and the subsequent

Our ability to manipulate short wavelength radiation (0.01-100nm, equivalent to 120keV-12eV) has increased significantly over the last three decades. This has l

Laser-driven proton beams are still in their infancy but already have some outstanding attributes compared to those produced in conventional accelerators. One s

This volume covers a broad range of topics focusing on atoms, molecules, and clusters interacting in intense laser field, laser induced filamentation, and laser
