Towards the Optimisation of Direct Laser Acceleration
A. E. Hussein, A. V. Arefiev, T. Batson +13
Experimental measurements using the OMEGA EP laser facility demonstrated direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electron beams to (505 75) MeV with (140 30)~nC of charge fr…
Generation of megatesla magnetic fields by intense-laser-driven microtube implosions
M. Murakami, J. J. Honrubia, K. Weichman +2
A microtube implosion driven by ultraintense laser pulses is used to produce ultrahigh magnetic fields. Due to the laser-produced hot electrons with energies of mega-electron volts…
Generation of focusing ion beams by magnetized electron sheath acceleration
K. Weichman, J. J. Santos, S. Fujioka +2
We present the first 3D particle-in-cell simulations of laser driven sheath-based ion acceleration in a kilotesla-level applied magnetic field. The applied magnetic field creates t…
Laser reflection as a catalyst for direct laser acceleration in multipicosecond laser-plasma interaction
Kathleen Weichman, Alexander P. L. Robinson, Farhat N. Beg +1
We demonstrate that laser reflection acts as a catalyst for superponderomotive electron production in the preplasma formed by relativistic multipicosecond lasers incident on solid…
