Abstract
The Laser Plasma Division at the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore has been engaged in research and development activities on laser plasma interaction using 10 TW, 45 fs, Ti:sapphire laser and a variety of in-house developed diagnostic systems for ultrashort laser pulses, plasma and x-ray radiation. Our recent studies include laser wakefield electron acceleration, high order harmonic generation, resonance enhancement of single harmonics, MeV energy bremsstrahlung radiation, absorption of ultrashort laser pulses in in-situ produced metal clusters, and ultrashort pulse K-shell x-ray line emission. This paper briefly describes these studies and important results obtained.
