Abstract

Designing laser-driven radiation sources requires realistic simulations, new ideas and good modeling. For inventing a design, a thorough analysis of existing designs is of great help. For planing designs, the fundamentals of the radiation generation process must be well understood. For testing designs, a fast return of results and the possibility to perform surveys of a large landscape of parameters is essential. In my talk I will address all steps in the source design using three examples from our recent research
* Scaling of hot electron energies with laser intensity in laser-solid interaction
* Laser-driven x-ray sources with tunable energy and bandwidth
* Fast computation of laser-plasma interaction with new computation hardware

Keywords: laser particle acceleration
