On the role of focal spot size in ultra-intense laser-solid interaction physics
This thesis reports on experimental investigations examining the role of laser-pulse focal spot size on key aspects of laser-solid interactions, namely laser-driven proton acceleration and laser-energy absorption, at the current state-of-the-art peak laser intensities (1020-1021 W/cm2). This include...
