Simulating the external magnetic field in short-pulse intense laser-plasma interaction
K. Jiang, C. T. Zhou, S. Z. Wu +10
Imposing an external magnetic field in short-pulse intense laser-plasma interaction is of broad scientific interest in related plasma research areas. We propose a simple method usi…
Laser-driven collimated tens-GeV monoenergetic protons from mass-limited target plus preformed channel
F. L. Zheng, S. Z. Wu, H. C. Wu +5
Proton acceleration by ultra-intense laser pulse irradiating a target with cross-section smaller than the laser spot size and connected to a parabolic density channel is investigat…
Coherent subcycle optical shock from superluminal plasma wake
H. Peng, T. W. Huang, K. Jiang +7
We propose a new mechanism for generating coherent subcycle optical pulse by directing a relativistic electron beam (REB) into a plasma with a density up-ramp. The subcycle pulse i…
Generation of intense circularly polarized attosecond light bursts from relativistic laser plasmas
Guangjin Ma, Wei Yu, M. Y. Yu +2
We have investigated the polarization of attosecond light bursts generated by nanobunches of electrons from relativistic few-cycle laser pulse interaction with the surface of overd…
Plasmoid ejection and secondary current sheet generation from magnetic reconnection in laser-plasma interaction
Quan-Li Dong, Shou-Jun Wang, Quan-Ming Lu +21
Reconnection of the self-generated magnetic fields in laser-plasma interaction was first investigated experimentally by Nilson {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 255001 (2006)] by…
Direction and divergence control of laser-driven energetic proton beam using a disk-solenoid target
K. Jiang, C. T. Zhou, T. W. Huang +9
A scheme for controlling the direction of energetic proton beam driven by intense laser pulse is proposed. Simulations show that a precisely directed and collimated proton bunch ca…
