郑州大学超短超强激光平台建设及研究进展OA

The emergence and rapid advancement of ultrafast and ultraintense lasers have created unprecedented extreme physical conditions and novel experimental methods,significantly deepening and expanding our understanding of the laws governing the objective world.These developments have greatly promoted innovation in basic and frontier interdisciplinary fields as well as strategic high technology areas.Particle acceleration using the interaction of ultrafast and ultraintense lasers with plasmas is regarded as a next-generation technology for accelerators and radiation sources.It offers the potential to shrink the footprint of conventional accelerator facilities by two orders of magnitude.This dramatic reduction in size greatly expands the applicability of accelerator and radiation source technologies in industry,national defense,medicine,and scientific research,enabling transformative possibilities such as precision nondestructive testing of critical components,ultralow dose and high precision tumor diagnostics,novel low damage radiotherapy methods,and tabletop ultrafast light sources.The ultrafast and ultraintense laser platform at Zhengzhou University introduced in this paper is precisely such a next-generation facility dedicated to advanced laser accelerator research and applications.In addition,this article provides a systematic review of the significant progress achieved by Zhengzhou University in recent years in strong-field physics and advanced accelerator science.
