Fundamental Physics at Extremes
Compact broadband high-resolution Compton spectroscopy for laser-driven high-flux gamma rays
Zhen-Chi Zhang, Tao Yang, Guang-Yue Hu, Meng-Ting Li, Wen Luo, Ning An, and Jian Zheng
A compact broadband Compton spectrometer with high spectral resolution has been designed to detect spectra of laser-driven high-flux gamma rays. The primary detection range of the gamma-ray spectrum is 0.5 MeV–13 MeV, although a secondary harder gamma-ray region of 13 MeV–30 MeV can also be covered. The Compton-scatter

Precise wavelength measurements of potassium He- and Li-like satellites emitted from the laser plasma of a mineral target
S. N. Ryazantsev, I. Yu. Skobelev, E. D. Filippov, A. S. Martynenko, M. D. Mishchenko, M. Krůs, O. Renner, and S. A. Pikuz
Atomic models of high-Z multicharged ions are extremely complex and require experimental validation. One way to do so is to crosscheck the predicted wavelengths of resonance transitions in He- and Li-like ions against precise spectroscopic measurements that use the spectral lines of H-like ions for spectra calibration;

Matter and radiation at extremes: Prospects and impacts
Michel Koenig, David Crandall, Ho-Kwang Mao, Ke Lan, Dieter H. H. Hoffmann, and Weiyan Zhang
High-energy-density science (HEDS) has been recognized as a comprehensive new area of physical science, with the potential to revolutionize various scientific and technological fields, including nuclear fusion, particle acceleration, astrophysics, and the properties of condensed matter under extreme conditions. That is

Inertial Confinement Fusion Physics
Convective amplification of stimulated Raman rescattering in a picosecond laser plasma interaction regime
Yu Ji, Chang-Wang Lian, Rui Yan, Chuang Ren, Dong Yang, Zhen-Hua Wan, Bin Zhao, Chen Wang, Zhi-Heng Fang, and Jian Zheng
We present particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of laser plasma instabilities (LPIs) with a laser pulse duration of a few picoseconds. The simulation parameters are appropriate to the planar-target LPI experimental conditions on SG-II. In this regime, the plasmas are characterized by a long electron density scale length

A model for defect formation in materials exposed to radiation
Sergio Davis, Felipe González-Cataldo, Gonzalo Gutiérrez, Gonzalo Avaria, Biswajit Bora, Jalaj Jain, José Moreno, Cristian Pavez, and Leopoldo Soto
A simple model for the stochastic evolution of defects in a material under irradiation is presented. Using the master-equation formalism, we derive an expression for the average number of defects in terms of the power flux and the exposure time. The model reproduces the qualitative behavior of self-healing due to defec
