Positron beam loading and acceleration in the blowout regime of plasma wakefield accelerator
Shiyu Zhou, Weiming An, Siqin Ding +4
Plasma wakefield acceleration in the nonlinear blowout regime has been shown to provide high acceleration gradients and high energy transfer efficiency while maintaining great beam…
Kinetic theory of particle-in-cell simulation plasma and the ensemble averaging technique
Michael Touati, Romain Codur, Frank Tsung +3
We derive the kinetic theory of fluctuations in physically and numerically stable particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of electrostatic plasmas. The starting point is the single-time…
Highly spin-polarized multi-GeV electron beams generated by single-species plasma photocathodes
Zan Nie, Fei Li, Felipe Morales +11
High-gradient and high-efficiency acceleration in plasma-based accelerators has been demonstrated, showing its potential as the building block for a future collider operating at th…
Efficient Generation of Tunable Magnetic and Optical Vortices Using Plasmas
Yipeng Wu, Xinlu Xu, Chaojie Zhang +8
Plasma is an attractive medium for generating strong microscopic magnetic structures and tunable electromagnetic radiation with predictable topologies due to its extraordinary abil…
Mapping the self-generated magnetic fields due to thermal Weibel instability
Chaojie Zhang, Yipeng Wu, Mitchell Sinclair +15
Weibel-type instability can self-generate and amplify magnetic fields in both space and laboratory plasmas with temperature anisotropy. The electron Weibel instability has generall…
Electron Weibel instability induced magnetic fields in optical-field ionized plasmas
Chaojie Zhang, Yipeng Wu, Mitchell Sinclair +14
Generation and amplification of magnetic fields in plasmas is a long-standing topic that is of great interest to both plasma and space physics. The electron Weibel instability is a…
Integrating a ponderomotive guiding center algorithm into a quasi-static particle-in-cell code based on azimuthal mode decomposition
Fei Li, Weiming An, Frank S. Tsung +2
High-fidelity modeling of plasma-based acceleration (PBA) requires the use of 3D fully nonlinear and kinetic descriptions based on the particle-in-cell (PIC) method. Three-dimensio…
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…
The Optimal Beam-loading in Two-bunch Nonlinear Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
Xiaoning Wang, Jie Gao, Qianqian Su +7
Due to the highly nonlinear nature of the beam-loading, it is at present not possible to analytically determine the beam parameters needed in a two-bunch plasma wakefield accelerat…
