On the control of electron heating for optimal laser radiation pressure ion acceleration
H. -G. Jason Chou, Anna Grassi, Siegfried H. Glenzer +1
We study the onset of electron heating in intense laser-solid interactions and its impact on the spectral quality of radiation pressure accelerated ions in both hole boring and lig…
Radiation pressure acceleration of high-quality ion beams using ultrashort laser pulses
H. -G. Jason Chou, Anna Grassi, Siegfried H. Glenzer +1
The generation of compact, high-energy ion beams is one of the most promising applications of intense laser-matter interactions, but the control of the beam spectral quality remain…
Impact of the laser spatio-temporal shape on Breit-Wheeler pair production
A. Mercuri-Baron, M. Grech, F. Niel +4
The forthcoming generation of multi-petawatt lasers opens the way to abundant pair production by the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process, i.e., the decay of a photon into an electron-p…
Efficient generation of turbulent collisionless shocks in laser-ablated counter-streaming plasmas
Anna Grassi, Frederico Fiuza
Laser-ablated high-energy-density (HED) plasmas offer a promising route to study astrophysically relevant processes underlying collisionless shock formation, magnetic field amplifi…
Physics and phenomenology of weakly magnetized, relativistic astrophysical shock waves
A. Vanthieghem, M. Lemoine, I. Plotnikov +4
Weakly magnetized, relativistic collisionless shock waves are not only the natural offsprings of relativistic jets in high-energy astrophysical sources, they are also associated wi…
Momentum Absorption and Magnetic Field Generation by Obliquely Incident Light
Andrea Macchi, Anna Grassi, François Amiranoff +1
The partial reflection of an electromagnetic (EM) wave from a medium leads to absorption of momentum in the direction perpendicular to the surface (the standard radiation pressure)…
