Description

Fast ignition study has been extensively conducted at the ILE, Osaka University. The fundamental study shows that hot electron characteristics are obtained using coherent transition radiation. Relativistic transparency has been also observed through an over-dense plasmas, which may be extended to be an attractive tool for the direct illumination of ultra-intense laser pulse to a highly compressed core. A model experimental results are also reported of direct illumination of a PW laser onto a compressed core. (author)
