Fast rate fracture of aluminum using high intensity lasers
… alloying atoms. Fast fracture experiments using lasers are aimed at studying how material microstructure affects the tensile fracture characteristics at strain rates above 106 s-1. We used the Z-Beamlet Laser at Sandia National Laboratories to drive shocks via ablation and we measured the maximum …

Modelling Of Protostellar Jets Using Intense Lasers
… in which plasma jets were produced using high-intensity lasers. In the first of these, the effects on jet collimation of radiative emission and the presence of a gaseous ambient medium were studied, with a view to learning about the effects of these factors on YSO jets by studying their …

Measurement And Characterization Of Microwave Transient Electromagnetic Fields Generated From Laser/matter Interaction
From past experiments conducted with high intensity lasers, it has been known for some time that laser matter interactions result in the emission of short, transient electromagnetic pulses. Previous investigations into laser generated electromagnetic pulses provide basic information regarding …

Investigation of laser-driven particle acceleration for the development of tunable ion sources for applications in high energy density science
… pulses of light (10⁻¹⁵ − 10⁻¹² seconds) with high peak powers (1015 Watts) in small, focused spots (∼a few microns). A prolific area of research that has emerged over the last two decades is the use of these high-intensity lasers to drive particle beams. Possible applications of these particle …

Increased Proton Energies - Above the ~ 60 MeV Empirical Barrier, from High-Contrast High-Intensity Short-Pulse Laser-Interactions with Micro-Cone Targets
Ultra-high intensity lasers enable the investigation of extreme states of matter and the study of high energy density physics in the laboratory, as well as the creation of various intense radiation sources, i.e. electrons, X-rays, and ions. Of particular interest to this dissertation is the …
