Multi-scale simulation of intense laser plasma interactions

Lead Research Organisation: Imperial College London
Department Name: Physics

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Developed, tested and made available a very high performance computer model of lasers and high temperature plasmas.

Used the model to design a novel electron mirror to control and collimate the relativistic electrons from an ultra high power laser beam.
Exploitation Route The plasma code Epoch is now widely used by universities in the UK and Europe.
