Single-Shot High-Energy Muon and Particle Radiography with a Multi-GeV Laser-Wakefield-Accelerator-Driven Source
Kaixin Zhu, G. Jackson Williams, Roberto Versaci +29
We report the first demonstration of single-shot particle radiography using a 1-10 GeV laser-wakefield-generated beam of muons, pions, and neutrons. The test objects were imaged ~1…
Maximizing MeV x-ray dose in relativistic laser-solid interactions
Kyle G. Miller, Dean R. Rusby, Andreas J. Kemp +2
Bremsstrahlung x-rays generated in laser-solid interactions can be used as light sources for high-energy-density science. We present electron and x-ray spectra from particle-in-cel…
Laser-Plasma Interactions Enabled by Emerging Technologies
J. P. Palastro, F. Albert, B. Albright +51
An overview from the past and an outlook for the future of fundamental laser-plasma interactions research enabled by emerging laser systems.
Non-Equilibrium Response of Deuterium-Tritium Fusion Plasma: Molecular Dynamics Study of Ion Tail Replenishment
Jonathan L. Belof, Scott Wilks, Jose O. Sinibaldi
It has recently been proposed that transport of energetic deuterium-trition ions (Knudsen layer), owing to their long mean free path, may deplete the tail of the velocity distribut…
QED-driven laser absorption
M. C. Levy, T. G. Blackburn, N. Ratan +13
Absorption covers the physical processes which convert intense photon flux into energetic particles when a high-power laser illuminates optically-thick matter. It underpins importa…
Petawatt laser absorption bounded
Matthew C. Levy, Scott C. Wilks, Max Tabak +2
The interaction of petawatt () lasers with solid matter forms the basis for advanced scientific applications such as table-top particle accelerators, ultrafast…
Kinematic Constraints on Absorption of Ultraintense Laser Light
M. C. Levy, S. C. Wilks, M. Tabak +2
We derive upper and lower bounds on the absorption of ultraintense laser light by solids as a function of fundamental laser and plasma parameters. These limits emerge naturally fro…
A Radiation-Hydrodynamics Code Comparison for Laser-Produced Plasmas: FLASH versus HYDRA and the Results of Validation Experiments
Chris Orban, Milad Fatenejad, Sugreev Chawla +2
The potential for laser-produced plasmas to yield fundamental insights into high energy density physics (HEDP) and deliver other useful applications can sometimes be frustrated by…
Plasma adiabatic lapse rate
Peter Amendt, Claudio Bellei, Scott Wilks
The plasma analog of an adiabatic lapse rate (or temperature variation with height) in atmospheric physics is obtained. A new source of plasma temperature gradient in a binary ion…
Scaling of Laser Produced Pair Plasmas And Comparison With Experimental Data
Alexander Henderson, Edison Liang, Pablo Yepes +2
We report simulation results of pair production by ultra-intense lasers irradiating a gold target using the GEANT4 Monte-Carlo code. Certain experimental features of the positron a…
A proposal for testing subcritical vacuum pair production with high power lasers
G. Gregori, D. B. Blaschke, P. P. Rajeev +11
We present a proposal for testing the prediction of non-equilibrium quantum field theory below the Schwinger limit. The proposed experiments should be able to detect a measurable n…
