We present recent achievements towards laser-based particle accelerators gained on our in-house ultra-high intensity laser Draco. Electron acceleration experiments were performed, investigating relativistic non-linear Thomson scattering and laser-wakefield acceleration (LWFA), in case of the latter aiming especially for ionization injection while deploying advanced electron bunch structure...

PIConGPU is currently the fastest particle-in-cell code in the world. New physics models are continuously developed and, after thorough testing, included in our open-source software.
In this talk we will give an overview on the recent upgrades in PIConGPU, covering new ionization schemes including ADK, Keldysh and collisional ionization, a QED and bremsstrahlung module that brings photons...

The Neutralized Drift Compression eXperiment II (NDCX-II) is an ion accelerator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with the intention to study ion-driven high energy density physics relevant to inertial fusion energy research in the warm dense matter regime. Simulations have shown that a target heating up to 1 eV is possible for an area in the order of mm² at thin metal foils by using...

The study of particle and photon polarization phenomena occurring in the interaction of fast ion and electron beams with matter is of particular relevance for the understanding of cosmic and laboratory plasmas where high temperatures, high atomic charge-states and high field strengths prevail. In addition, polarization-sensitive studies of radiative processes in highly-charged, heavy ions may...
