-2 ). The interpretation of the ion TOF distributions in terms of theoretical shifted Maxwell–Boltzmann
distributions produces a good agreement with the experimental data. This has …

We have constructed and operated the ICARUS T600 liquid argon (LAr) time projection
chamber (TPC). The ICARUS T600 detector is the largest LAr TPC ever built, with a size of about …

We discuss the generation of high-density and high-temperature plasmas by focusing high
peak power laser radiation onto a solid target. Emphasis will be put on the process of laser …

By studying the fs laser produced plume of different materials we show experimentally that
the process of matter removal during ultrashort (fs) laser pulse irradiation followed by vacuum …

We demonstrate that femtosecond laser ablation of silicon targets in vacuum is a viable route
to the generation and deposition of nanoparticles with radii of 5–10 nm. The nanoparticles …

Electron recombination in liquid argon (LAr) is studied by means of charged particle tracks
collected in various ICARUS liquid argon TPC prototypes. The dependence of the …

We present an experimental characterization and a theoretical analysis of ultrashort laser
ablation of a nickel target, which highlights the more general and peculiar features of …

A model to describe the laser ablation of metallic targets is presented. It accounts for the
main physical processes involved in the laser–solid–plasma interaction by considering the …

In this paper the most important features of Laser Induced Plasma (LIP) evolution were
analyzed from the fundamental point of view, in order to point out the effects of background …

Creation of patterns and structures on surfaces at the micro- and nano-scale is a field of
growing interest. Direct femtosecond laser surface structuring with a Gaussian-like beam …
