Description
We will present the recent results which include: relativistic self-trapping regime of laser pulse propagation in the near critical density plasma, betatron wakefield radiation of record brightness and hardness, effective laser production of gammas, positrons, and photonuclear particles from optimized electron acceleration in low-density targets, shielded radiography with gamma rays from laser-accelerated electrons in a self-trapping regime, ultrafast target charging due to polarization triggered by laser-accelerated electrons, short laser pulse heating of microstructured targets and clusters, radiation source from THz to soft x-ray range based on the laser accelerated recirculating electrons at thin foils, and new methods of extreme light diagnostics. These studies have been performed with support of the State Assignment for Lebedev Physics Institute, Russian Science Foundation (Grant No. 17-12-01283), Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Grant No. 18-02-00452), and Foundation for Basic Research and ROSATOM (Grant No. 20-21-00023).
