Efficiency of radiation friction losses in laser-driven ‘hole boring’ of dense targets
In the interaction of laser pulses of extreme intensity (>10 ^23 Wcm ^−2 ) with high-density, thick plasma targets, simulations show significant radiation friction losses, in contrast to thin targets for which such losses are negligible. We present an analytical calculation, based on classical ra...
