CMA-Unfold A Covariance Matrix Adaptation unfolding algorithm for stacked calorimeter detectors
G. Fauvel, A. Arefiev, M. Manuel +3
Stacking calorimeters also refered as bremsstrahlung cannons widely used in inertial confinement fusion and ultra-intense laser plasma experiments have become essential diagnostics…
Phase-controlled direct laser acceleration enabled by longitudinal variation of the laser-driven quasi-static plasma magnetic field
R. Bhakta, I-L. Yeh, K. Tangtartharakul +2
Direct laser acceleration (DLA) enables energy transfer from an ultra-high-intensity laser to plasma electrons and underpins many laser-driven particle and radiation-source concept…
Enhanced energy gain through higher-order resonances during direct laser acceleration with superluminal phase velocity
I-Lin Yeh, Kavin Tangtartharakul, Rohan Bhakta +3
Ultra-high intensity laser-plasma interactions can produce ultra-relativistic electrons via direct laser acceleration, assisted by quasi-static plasma magnetic and electric fields.…
Collimated -ray emission enabled by efficient direct laser acceleration
Kavin Tangtartharakul, Gaetan Fauvel, Talia Meir +5
We investigate the mechanisms responsible for single-lobed versus double-lobed angular distributions of emitted -rays in laser-irradiated plasmas, focusing on how direct laser a…
Extreme Nonlinear Dynamics in Vacuum Laser Acceleration with a Crossed Beam Configuration
Alexander P. L. Robinson, Kavin Tangtartharakul, Kathleen Weichman +1
A relatively simple model problem where a single electron moves in two relativistically-strong obliquely intersecting plane wave-packets is studied using a number of different nume…
