Plasma wakefield acceleration studies using the quasi-static code WAKE
Neeraj Jain, John Palastro, T. M. Antonsen +2
The quasi-static code WAKE [P. Mora and T. Antonsen, Phys. Plasmas {\bf 4}, 217(1997)] is upgraded to model the propagation of an ultra-relativistic charged particle beam through a…
Coherent keV backscattering from plasma-wave boosted relativistic electron mirrors
F. Y. Li, Z. M. Sheng, M. Chen +5
A new parameter regime of laser wakefield acceleration driven by sub-petawatt femotsecond lasers is proposed, which enables the generation of relativistic electron mirrors further…
Elimination of the numerical Cerenkov instability for spectral EM-PIC codes
Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu, Viktor K. Decyk +7
When using an electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) code to simulate a relativistically drifting plasma, a violent numerical instability known as the numerical Cerenkov instabi…
Relativistically Induced Transparency Acceleration (RITA) of Protons and Light-ions with Ultrashort Laser Interaction with Heavy-ion Plasma Density Gradient
Aakash A. Sahai, F. S. Tsung, A. R. Tableman +2
The relativistically induced transparency acceleration (RITA) scheme of proton and ion acceleration using laser-plasma interactions is introduced, modeled, and compared to the exis…
Enhanced Stopping of Macro-Particles in Particle-in-Cell Simulations
Josh May, John Tonge, Warren B. Mori +4
We derive an equation for energy transfer from relativistic charged particles to a cold background plasma appropriate for finite-size particles that are used in particle-in-cell si…
Radially Polarized, Half-Cycle, Attosecond Pulses from Laser Wakefields through Coherent Synchrotron Radiation
F. Y. Li, Z. M. Sheng, M. Chen +4
Attosecond bursts of coherent synchrotron-like radiation are found when driving ultrathin relativistic electron disks in a quasi-one-dimensional regime of wakefield acceleration, i…
