Observation of Ion-wave Satellites to Laser Harmonics in Intense Picosecond Laser-Solid Interaction
R. S. Marjoribanks, L. Zhao, F. W. Budnik +5
Detailed spectra of harmonics produced from ultra-intense, sub-picosecond, high-contrast laser pulses incident on solid targets have shown the first observation of regular red- and…
X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13
We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…
The Influence of Laser Focusing Conditions on the Direct Laser Acceleration of Electrons
H. Tang, K. Tangtartharakul, R. Babjak +12
Direct Laser Acceleration (DLA) of electrons during a high-energy, picosecond laser interaction with an underdense plasma has been demonstrated to be substantially enhanced by cont…
Proton deflectometry analysis in magnetized plasmas: magnetic field reconstruction in one dimension
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, D. B. Schaeffer +1
Proton deflectometry is increasingly used in magnetized high-energy-density plasmas to observe electromagnetic fields. We describe a reconstruction algorithm to recover the electro…
Kinetic theory for spin-polarized relativistic plasmas
Daniel Seipt, Alec G. R. Thomas
The investigation of spin and polarization effects in ultra-high intensity laser-plasma and laser-beam interactions has become an emergent topic in high-field science recently. In…
Direct laser acceleration in underdense plasmas with multi-PW lasers: a path to high-charge, GeV-class electron bunches
R. Babjak, L. Willingale, A. Arefiev +1
The direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electrons in underdense plasmas can provide 100s of nC of electrons accelerated to near-GeV energies using currently available lasers. Here w…
