Kinetic simulations of fusion ignition with hot-spot ablator mix
James D. Sadler, Yingchao Lu, Benjamin Spiers +9
Inertial confinement fusion fuel suffers increased X-ray radiation losses when carbon from the capsule ablator mixes into the hot-spot. Here we present one and two-dimensional ion…

Orbital angular momentum coupling in elastic photon-photon scattering
Ramy Aboushelbaya, Kevin Glize, Alexander F. Savin +8
In this letter, we investigate the effect of orbital angular momentum (OAM) on elastic photon-photon scattering in vacuum for the first time. We define exact solutions to the vacuu…

Energy absorption in the laser-QED regime
Alex F Savin, Aimee J Ross, Ramy Aboushelbaya +4
A theoretical and numerical investigation of non-ponderomotive absorption at laser intensities relevant to quantum electrodynamics is presented. It is predicted that there is a reg…
