TL;DR: In this paper, a beam-plasma interaction experiment was carried out using the heavy ion synchrotron at the GSI, Darmstadt, Germany! accelerator with two high-energy laser systems: petawatt high energy laser for ion experiments (PHELIX! and nanosecond high energy LEM) and NHELIX!.

TL;DR: The Petawatt High Energy Laser for heavy Ion eXperiments (PHELIX) as discussed by the authors has been commissioned for operation in stand-alone mode and, in combination with ions accelerated up to an energy of 13 MeV/u by the heavy ion accelerator UNILAC enables a large variety of unique experiments.

TL;DR: The Super-FRS is a large acceptance device utilizing large-aperture superconducting magnets and employing multiple degrader stages to provide monoisotopic nuclear beams as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Simulations show that this upgraded heavy-ion beam is capable of generating strong shocks in solid targets that compress the target material to supersolid densities and generate multi-mbar pressures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the beam divergence and energy of laser-accelerated proton beams with respect to beam divergence was analyzed and it was shown that the high flux electron beam produces a high space charge resulting in a stronger focusing of the proton beam than expected by tracking results.
