The rapid, picosecond time-scale evolution of electron density and temperature in a laser-produced plasma was measured using collective Thomson scattering [1]. As is the case for many laser-plasma applications, an underdense (~10^19 cm^-3) H2 plasma was created by a 60-ps, 1053-nm laser pulse with an intensity of ~3 x...

Powerful gamma-ray emissions are ubiquitous in astrophysics, from active galactic nuclei [1] to pulsars [2] and neutron star mergers [3]. One of the key mechanisms leading to powerful gamma-ray emissions is thought to be the interaction of ultrarelativistic particle beams with a surrounding plasma environment, which...

High power, short pulse lasers have become valuable tools for scientists exploring a wide range of phenomena and developing new technologies such as ultra-compact wakefield accelerators [1] and compact light sources [2] with applications ranging from particle physics to biology. To produce ultra-intense, short pulses,...

The extremely energetic class of astrophysical phenomena - including high-energy pulsar winds, gamma ray bursts, and jets from galactic nuclei - have plasma conditions where the energy density of the magnetic fields exceeds the rest mass energy density (sigmacold = B^2/(µ0nemec^2)), the cold magnetization parameter)....
