Particle dynamics and spatial density structures at QED cascading in circularly polarized standing waves

A. V. Bashinov, P. Kumar, A. V. Kim

We present a comprehensive analysis of longitudinal particle drifting in a standing circularly polarized wave at extreme intensities when quantum radiation reaction (RR) effects sh…

Ultra-bright GeV photon source via controlled electromagnetic cascades in laser-dipole waves

A. Gonoskov, A. Bashinov, S. Bastrakov +7

One aim of upcoming high-intensity laser facilities is to provide new high-flux gamma-ray sources. Electromagnetic cascades may serve for this, but are known to limit both field st…

Observation of quasi-periodic frequency sweeping in electron cyclotron emission of nonequilibrium mirror-confined plasma

M. E. Viktorov, A. G. Shalashov, D. A. Mansfeld +1

Chirping frequency patterns have been observed in the electron cyclotron emission from strongly nonequilibrium plasma confined in a table-top mirror magnetic trap. Such patterns ar…

Beam loading in the bubble regime in plasmas with hollow channels

A. A. Golovanov, I. Yu. Kostyukov, J. Thomas +1

Based on the already existing analytical theory of the strongly-nonlinear wakefield (which is called "bubble") in transversely inhomogeneous plasmas, we study particular behavior o…

Quantum quenching of radiation losses in short laser pulses

Chris Harvey, Arkady Gonoskov, Anton Ilderton +1

Accelerated charges radiate, and therefore must lose energy. The impact of this energy loss on particle motion, called radiation reaction, becomes significant in intense-laser matt…

Beyond nonlinear saturation of backward Raman amplifiers

Ido Barth, Zeev Toroker, Alexey A. Balakin +1

Backward Raman amplification is limited by relativistic nonlinear dephasing resulting in saturation of the leading spike of the amplified pulse. Pump detuning is employed to mitiga…

Chirped standing wave acceleration of ions with intense lasers

Felix Mackenroth, Arkady Gonoskov, Mattias Marklund

We propose a novel mechanism for ion acceleration based on the guided motion of electrons from a thin target. The electron motion is locked to the moving nodes of a standing wave f…
