Laser-driven accelerators have gained interest in the recent years as they can offer an extremely versatile technology as the same machine can accelerate ions, electrons, and produce neutral radiation. This interest has pushed forward the development of facilities where users can exploit the unique features of laser-driven accelerators (e.g. ultrashort bunch duration) for a wide range of...
The spatial-temporal control of ultrashort laser pulses and the field enhancement developments for the most powerful ultrashort pulse laser system worldwide (2x10 PW HPLS laser system at ELI-NP) will be presented.

The CLF is now constructing a new facility - the Extreme Photonics Applications Centre (EPAC). EPAC’s technology is based on plasma accelerators driven by high-power laser pulses. Plasma accelerators, with their extremely high acceleration gradient, hold the promise of realising cheaper, compact accelerators for fundamental science and applications alike [1], cutting across a multitude of...
Ongoing progress with the MagLIF fusion concept [1] and the development of external magnetic field sources at major laser facilities [2] has led to interest in using magnetic fields to increase neutron yields in inertial confinement fusion implosions [3,4]. Extended magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations suggest that seed magnetic fields of 10-50 T can be amplified to over ~10 kT during capsule...
Abstract
Low-density structured materials, or foams, became in the recent years of great interest for the research in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) [1]. The internal structure constituted by solid parts and voids allows the laser beam to scatter on the solid parts and into the voids, thus penetrating the material in depth, even with an average density larger than the critical...
