Imploding Plasmas under Pulsed Magnetic Fields:
High-Resolution Spectroscopic studies of High-Energy-Density Plasmas (visible to x-ray).
Design and build up of fast (ns) and ultra-fast (sub ns) optical spectroscopic systems.
Studies of Instabilities and turbulence phenomena.
Radiation transport and ion temperature in imploding plasmas.
High-Power-Laser matter interaction:
Warm dense matter (solid-state with temperatures above the Fermi energy) formed by intense laser solid-state interaction.
Intense-Laser-Beam-guiding by the use of plasma channels.
Development of novel spectroscopic diagnostic methods for matter under extreme conditions.
Experiments are performed in major European laboratories: Jena, Drezden (Germany), Ecole polytechnique (France).
Close collaboration with Universities and National plasma laboratories in the US (Cornell, Sandia, NRL, LLNL-NIF).
