Relativistic Topological Waves from Cherenkov and Doppler Resonances in Self-Magnetized Laser Plasmas
Xiaofei Shen, Lars Reichwein, Alexander Pukhov
Strong magnetic fields at plasma-plasma interfaces can be naturally produced in laser-plasma interactions. Using theoretical analysis and fully three-dimensional particle-in-cell s…
Excitation of strongly nonlinear plasma wakefield by electron bunches
A. A. Golovanov, I. Yu. Kostyukov, L. Reichwein +2
We propose a new method for analytical self-consistent description of the excitation of a strongly nonlinear wakefield (a bubble) excited by an electron bunch. This method makes it…
On the robustness of spin polarization for magnetic vortex accelerated proton bunches in density down-ramps
Lars Reichwein, Anna Hützen, Markus Büscher +1
We investigate the effect of density down-ramps on the acceleration of ions via Magnetic Vortex Acceleration (MVA) in a near-critical density gas target by means of particle-in-cel…
Finite-emittance Wigner crystals in the bubble regime
Lars Reichwein, Johannes Thomas, Alexander Pukhov
We study the influence of finite emittance electron bunches in the bubble regime of laser-driven wakefield acceleration onto the microscopic structure of the bunch itself. Using re…
The filamented electron bunch of the bubble regime
Lars Reichwein, Johannes Thomas, Alexander Pukhov
We present a theory for describing the inner structure of the electron bunch in the bubble regime starting from a random distribution of electrons inside the bubble and subsequentl…
2D structures of electron bunches in relativistic plasma cavities
Lars Reichwein, Johannes Thomas, Alexander Pukhov
The spatial structure of an ultra-low emittance electron bunch in a plasma wakefield blowout regime is studied. The full Liénard-Wiechert potentials are considered for mutual inter…
