Laser-Wakefield-Driven Photonuclear and Laser-Driven DD Fusion Neutron Sources for Fast Neutron Capture: A Start-to-End Simulation Study
Ou Z. Labun, D. D. Phan, L. Labun +6
Laser-driven neutron sources offer ultrashort pulse durations and extreme peak fluxes inaccessible to conventional facilities, enabling novel time-of-flight(TOF) spectroscopy and n…
Nonlinear Thomson scattering with ponderomotive control
D. Ramsey, B. Malaca, A. Di Piazza +7
In nonlinear Thomson scattering, a relativistic electron reflects and re-radiates the photons of a laser pulse, converting optical light to x rays or beyond. While this extreme fre…
Laser-plasma acceleration beyond wave breaking
J. P. Palastro, B. Malaca, J. Vieira +5
Laser wakefield accelerators rely on the extremely high electric fields of nonlinear plasma waves to trap and accelerate electrons to relativistic energies over short distances. Wh…
Photon Acceleration in a Flying Focus
A. J. Howard, D. Turnbull, A. S. Davies +3
A high-intensity laser pulse propagating through a medium triggers an ionization front that can accelerate and frequency-upshift the photons of a second pulse. The maximum upshift…
