Hybrid-VPIC: an Open-Source Kinetic/Fluid Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Code
Ari Le, Adam Stanier, Lin Yin +3
Hybrid-VPIC is an extension of the open-source high-performance particle-in-cell (PIC) code VPIC incorporating hybrid kinetic ion/fluid electron solvers. This paper describes the m…
Cross-beam energy transfer in conditions relevant to direct-drive implosions on OMEGA
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
In cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), the interference of two laser beams ponderomotively drives an ion-acoustic wave that coherently scatters light from one beam into the other. T…
Infuence of mass ablation on ignition and burn propagation in layered fusion capsules
W. Daughton, B. J. Albright, S. M. Finnegan +4
After decades of research, recent laser-driven inertial fusion experiments have demonstrated rapid progress toward achieving thermonuclear ignition using capsule designs with cryog…
Cross-beam energy transfer saturation by ion trapping-induced detuning
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
The performance of direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions relies critically on the coupling of laser energy to the target plasma. Cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), th…
VPIC 2.0: Next Generation Particle-in-Cell Simulations
Robert Bird, Nigel Tan, Scott V. Luedtke +3
VPIC is a general purpose Particle-in-Cell simulation code for modeling plasma phenomena such as magnetic reconnection, fusion, solar weather, and laser-plasma interaction in three…
Creating QED Photon Jets with Present-Day Lasers
Scott V. Luedtke, Lin Yin, Lance A. Labun +5
Large-scale, relativistic particle-in-cell simulations with quantum electrodynamics (QED) models show that high energy (1 75 MeV) QED photon jets with a flux of $10^{…
Laser-Plasma Interactions Enabled by Emerging Technologies

A semi-implicit, energy- and charge-conserving particle-in-cell algorithm for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell equations
Guangye Chen, Luis Chacón, Lin Yin +3
Conventional explicit electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithms do not conserve discrete energy exactly. Time-centered fully implicit PIC algorithms can conserve discrete e…
Finite grid instability and spectral fidelity of the electrostatic Particle-In-Cell algorithm
C. -K. Huang, Y. Zeng, Y. Wang +3
The origin of the Finite Grid Instability (FGI) is studied by resolving the dynamics in the 1D electrostatic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) model in spectral domain at the single particle…
On the Numerical Dispersion of Electromagnetic Particle-In-Cell Code : Finite Grid Instability
M. D. Meyers, C. -K. Huang, Y. Zeng +2
The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method is widely used in relativistic particle beam and laser plasma modeling. However, the PIC method exhibits numerical instabilities that can render u…
Scaling of laser-driven ion energies in the relativistic transparent regime
D. Jung, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +12
Laser-driven ions have compelling properties and their potential use for medical applications has attracted a huge global interest. One of the major challenges of these application…
160 MeV laser-accelerated protons from CH2 nano-targets for proton cancer therapy
B. M. Hegelich, D. Jung, B. J. Albright +11
Proton (and ion) cancer therapy has proven to be an extremely effective even supe-rior method of treatment for some tumors 1-4. A major problem, however, lies in the cost of the pa…
