We find and study a variety of the spectral-temporal behavior during the decay phase of long and bright GRB pulses. Even though only a small fraction of observed bursts exhibit such pulses, these are of interest to study as they reflect…
We investigate the pulse partitioning of a 6.3 mJ, 450 fs pulse at 1030 nm to produce plasma channels. At such moderate energies, splitting the energy into several sub-pulses reduces the ionization efficiency and thus does not extend the…

In our model the electron dynamics are described by a two-state approximation. This might appear a rough approximation since it neglects coupling through excited electronic states and ionization channels. However at high intensity (laser…
Since the 1930s, and with very few exceptions, it has been assumed that the process of radioactive decay is a random process, unaffected by the environment in which the decaying nucleus resides. There have been instances within the past few…
