Quasi-monoenergetic Deuteron Acceleration via Boosted Coulomb Explosion by Reflected Picosecond Laser Pulse

Tianyun Wei, Zechen Lan, Yasunobu Arikawa +11

Generation of quasi-monoenergetic ions by intense laser is one of long-standing goals in laser-plasma physics. However, existing laser-driven ion acceleration schemes often produce…

Kinetic simulations of X-B and O-X-B mode conversion and its deterioration at high input power

A. V. Arefiev, I. Y. Dodin, A. Köhn +4

Spherical tokamak plasmas are typically overdense and thus inaccessible to externally-injected microwaves in the electron cyclotron range. The electrostatic electron Bernstein wave…
