Promising lines of investigations in the realms of laboratory astrophysics with the aid of powerful lasers

Laboratory modeling of big bang nucleosynthesis using powerful laser facilities

“…Already, many investigators exploit laser systems with intensi ties of ~10 18 -10 20 W cm −2 . The most intensive invest igations are carried out in this range of interaction [3,7]. Such facilities are lodged in relatively small rooms of dimension 50-200 m 2 .…”

“…To date, there have been very few investigations of the last item in this list [3,11]. At the same time, the application of laser plasmas produced by radiation of relativistic intensity to achieve the goals of nuclear astrophysics has some advantages in comparison to standard approaches.…”

“…However, to date, many problems remain unexplained. These unsolved problems are as follows [1][2][3].…”

“…Investigations of astrophysical phenomena in the laboratory (laboratory astrophysics) are now intensively pursued [3][4][5][6]. It should be noted that the standard approaches used in nuclear investigations often have their restrictions.…”

Parametric Study of Proton Acceleration from Laser-Thin Foil Interaction

“…The acceleration process occurs over a relatively very short length in the order of sub-millimeters and the generated proton beams possess high-emittance, laminarity and a short duration [3,4]. These characteristics of the proton beams generated from the interaction extend their huge potential in a plethora of applications, such as fusion energy [5,6], medical applications [7], isotope production [8] and astrophysical modeling [9,10].…”
