Overview of high intensity, short pulse laser driven source applications and science at LLNL

POSTER

Abstract

High intensity, short pulse lasers are capable of accelerating electrons to relativistic energies, which can then produce other secondary particles such as x-rays, protons, neutrons, positrons, and muons. These laser-driven sources have unique characteristics that can drive or probe static, dynamic, or high energy density environments. Our group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is developing the source science and technology maturation of such sources, primarily as radiographic and tomographic tools. This poster will give an overview of these simulation and experimental efforts at mid- and large-scale laser facilities.
