Observation of Strong Terahertz Radiation from a Liquid Water Line

L. -L. Zhang, W. -M. Wang, T. Wu +7

Terahertz radiation generation from liquid water has long been considered to be impossible due to strong absorption. A few very recent works reported terahertz generation from wate…

An improved understanding of the roles of atomic processes and power balance in divertor target ion current loss during detachment

Kevin Verhaegh, Bruce Lipschultz, Basil Duval +16

The process of divertor detachment, whereby heat and particle fluxes to divertor surfaces are strongly diminished, is required to reduce heat loading and erosion in a magnetic fusi…

Electron energy increase in a laser wakefield accelerator using longitudinally shaped plasma density profiles

Constantin Aniculaesei, Vishwa Bandhu Pathak, Hyung Taek Kim +13

The phase velocity of the wakefield of a laser wakefield accelerator can, theoretically, be manipulated by shaping the longitudinal plasma density profile, thus controlling the par…

Efficient injection of radiation-pressure-accelerated sub-relativistic protons into laser wakefield acceleration based on 10 PW lasers

M. Liu, S. M. Weng, H. C. Wang +6

We propose a hybrid laser-driven ion acceleration scheme using a combination target of a solid foil and a density-tailored background plasma. In the first stage, a sub-relativistic…

Generation of GeV positron and γ-photon beams with controllable angular momentum by intense lasers

Xing-Long Zhu, Tong-Pu Yu, Min Chen +2

Although several laser-plasma-based methods have been proposed for generating energetic electrons, positrons and γ-photons, manipulation of their microstructures is still challengi…

THz pulses over 50 millijoules generated from relativistic picosecond laser-plasma interactions

Guoqian Liao, Hao Liu, Yutong Li +15

Ultrahigh-power terahertz (THz) radiation sources are essential for many applications, such as nonlinear THz physics, THz-wave based compact accelerators, etc. However, until now n…

Magnetic field generation in plasma waves driven by co-propagating intense twisted lasers

Y. Shi, J. Vieira, R. M. G. M. Trines +3

We present a new magnetic field generation mechanism in underdense plasmas driven by the beating of two, co-propagating, Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) orbital angular momentum (OAM) laser…

Ionization injection in a laser wakefield accelerator subject to a transverse magnetic field

Q. Zhao, S. M. Weng, Z. M. Sheng +6

The effect of an external transverse magnetic field on ionization injection of electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is investigated by theoretical analysis and particl…
