Simulation of relativistically colliding laser-generated electron flows

Xiaohu Yang, Mark E. Dieckmann, Gianluca Sarri +1

The plasma dynamics resulting from the simultaneous impact, of two equal, ultra-intense laser pulses, in two spatially separated spots, onto a dense target is studied via particle-…

Magnetic instability in a dilute circular rarefaction wave

Mark Eric Dieckmann, Gianluca Sarri, Marco Borghesi

The generation of a magnetic field in a circular rarefaction wave is examined in form of a 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. Electrons with a temperature of 32 keV are uniforml…

Dynamics of self-generated, large amplitude magnetic fields following high-intensity laser matter interaction

G. Sarri, A. Macchi, C. A. Cecchetti +15

The dynamics of magnetic fields with amplitude of several tens of Megagauss, generated at both sides of a solid target irradiated with a high intensity (? 1019W/cm2) picosecond las…

Ion acceleration in multispecies targets driven by intense laser radiation pressure

S. Kar, K. F. Kakolee, B. Qiao +15

The acceleration of ions from ultra-thin foils has been investigated using 250 TW, sub-ps laser pulses, focused on target at intensities up to $3\times10^{20} \Wcm2$. The ion spect…

Oblique propagation of arbitrary amplitude electron acoustic solitary waves in magnetized kappa-distributed plasmas

S. Sultana, I. Kourakis, M. A. Hellberg

The linear and nonlinear properties of large amplitude electron-acoustic waves are investigated in a magnetized plasma comprising two distinct electron populations (hot and cold) a…

Harmonic Generation from Relativistic Plasma Surfaces in Ultra-Steep Plasma Density Gradients

Christian Rödel, Daniel an der Brügge, Jana Bierbach +19

Harmonic generation in the limit of ultra-steep density gradients is studied experimentally. Observations demonstrate that while the efficient generation of high order harmonics fr…

Soft X-ray harmonic comb from relativistic electron spikes

A. S. Pirozhkov, M. Kando, T. Zh. Esirkepov +37

We demonstrate a new high-order harmonic generation mechanism reaching the `water window' spectral region in experiments with multi-terawatt femtosecond lasers irradiating gas jets…
