Influence of spatial-intensity contrast in ultraintense laser–plasma interactions

Abstract Increasing the intensity to which high power laser pulses are focused has opened up new research possibilities, including promising new approaches to particle acceleration and phenomena such as high field quantum electrodynamics. Whilst the intensity achievable with a laser pulse of a given...
