Nowadays research on laser-driven proton acceleration is focusing on the interaction of relativistic-intensity laser pulses with sub-micrometer targets, aiming for advanced acceleration mechanisms. Despite very positive estimates delivered by numerical simulations, a significant discrepancy is found in the experimental realization so far, which requires further investigations. The predicted...

We present experimental studies and optimization prospects of a robust open-geometry platform for generation of ultra-strong magneto-static fields.
The all-optical principle is based on a ns-laser pulse of several hundred Joule at 10**17 W/cm2 driving a target-discharge. The laser is tightly focused into a Capacitor Coil Target [1] comprising two parallel plates connected by a coil-shaped...

Secondary sources of high energy particles and hard X-rays, produced in the interaction of relativistically intense laser pulses with matter, are widely used to create and diagnose extreme states of matter. The production of high-energy electrons, as well as the elaboration of compact sources of relativistic electrons and hard X-rays, requires the development of advanced acceleration methods....
