Interaction of Clusters with Intense, Few-Cycle, Long Wavelength Fields

Abstract

The goal of this proposal was to develop a more complete understanding of the fundamental physics associated with intense laser-cluster interactions. The physics is explored by tuning the wavelength of the intense laser in the mid-infrared spectral region (1-4.5 micron). Applications are in the perspective included the production of highly charged, energetic ions, x-ray photons or high harmonics light, and hence attosecond pulses and attophysics. The proposed investigations have provided new insights into the physics of nano-plasmas over this unexplored region of parameter space.
