Abstract
High density, high temperature plasmas produced by high power laser beams has been an important field of many applied interests ranging from laser driven inertial confinement fusion1 to laboratory development of XUV-soft x-ray lasers2, besides their increasing use as an x-ray source of very high peak spectral brightness3. Applications in several areas such as x-ray microscopy of live biological samples3, microlithography3, material science research4, etc are already taking shape. Recent advent of compact, ultrashort, multi-terawatt laser systems5 has opened up laser matter interaction to ultra high intensities (≥1017W/cm2) and rejuvenated the field with possibility of observing several novel phenomena and adding new parameter regimes for applications.
