Laser–Plasma Interactions and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Laser–plasma interactions and applications cover the fundamental and applied aspects of high-power laser plasma physics. These include studies of the interaction of laser radiation with matter under extreme conditions (the effect of a radiation field on excitation and ionization in non-LTE high energy density plasmas, energetic electron generation and transport in laser plasma, shock waves and equations of state related to laser plasma, etc.), inertial confinement fusion research, laser plasma particles and radiation sources (laser plasma accelerators, coherent light sources in x-ray and extreme ultraviolet, generation of femtosecond and attosecond radiation pulses, etc.).

In this Special Issue titled “Laser–Plasma Interactions and Applications”, we invite submissions reporting new results in experiments, theory and numerical simulations, as well as papers discussing recent and potential applications. Topics of interest generally include (but are not limited to):

• High-intensity lasers;
• Laser-produced plasmas;
• Plasma physics;
• Electron beams;
• X-ray emission;
• Plasma diagnostics;
• Plasma simulations;
• Inertial confinement fusion;
• Plasma sources;
• Solid state targets;
• Gas jet targets.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plasma is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
