Polarized proton acceleration in ultra-intense laser interaction with near critical density plasmas
X. F. Li, P. Gibbon, A. Hützen +4
The production of polarized proton beams with multi-GeV energies in ultra-intense laser interaction with targets is studied with three-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations. A n…
Generation of polarized particle beams at relativistic laser intensities
Markus Büscher, Anna Hützen, Liangliang Ji +1
The acceleration of polarized electrons, positrons, protons and ions in strong laser and plasma fields is a very attractive option to obtain polarized beams in the multi-MeV range.…
A spin-filter for polarized electron acceleration in plasma wakefields
Yitong Wu, Liangliang Ji, Xuesong Geng +7
We propose a filter method to generate electron beams of high polarization from bubble and blow-out wakefield accelerators. The mechanism is based on the idea to identify all elect…
Simulation of Polarized Beams from Laser-Plasma Accelerators
Anna Hützen, Johannes Thomas, Andreas Lehrach +6
The generation of polarized particle beams still relies on conventional particle accelerators, which are typically very large in scale and budget. Concepts based on laser-driven wa…
Scaling laws for the (de-)polarization time of relativistic particle beams in strong fields
Johannes Thomas, Anna Hützen, Andreas Lehrach +5
The acceleration of polarized electrons and protons in strong laser and plasma fields is a very attractive option to obtain polarized beams in the GeV range. We investigate the fea…
Spin polarized proton beam generation from gas-jet targets by intense laser pulses
Luling Jin, Meng Wen, Xiaomei Zhang +4
A method of generating spin polarized proton beams from a gas jet by using a multi-petawatt laser is put forward. With currently available techniques of producing pre-polarized mon…
