“…Comparison with particle-in-cell simulations suggests that the enhancement originates from the increased temperature and population of the hot electrons within the micro-wires. These measurements provide a direct probe of the high energy density plasma condition in laser-driven solid targets and a useful benchmark for further studies on laser-driven micro-structured targets.…”

Suppression of stimulated Raman scattering by angularly incoherent light, towards a laser system of incoherence in all dimensions of time, space, and angle by Yi Guo, Xiaomei Zhang, Dirui Xu, Xinju Guo, Baifei Shen, Ke Lan

“…In particular, angular incoherence does not introduce extra undesirable hot electrons. This provides a novel method for suppressing LPI by using light with an angular momentum spread and paves the way towards a low-LPI laser system for inertial fusion energy with a super light spring of incoherence in all dimensions of time, space, and angle, and may open the door to the use of longer-wavelength lasers for inertial fusion energy.…”

Enhanced proton acceleration in an applied longitudinal magnetic field by A Arefiev, T Toncian, G Fiksel

“…We find that a kT-level external magnetic field can sufficiently inhibit transverse transport of hot electrons in a flat laser-irradiated target. While the electron heating by the laser remains mostly unaffected, the reduced electron transport during proton acceleration leads to an enhancement of maximum proton energies and the overall number of energetic protons. …”
