Twisted plasma waves driven by twisted ponderomotive force
Yin Shi, D. R. Blackman, R. J. Kingham +1
We present results of twisted plasma waves driven by twisted ponderomotive force. With beating of two, co-propagating, Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) orbital angular momentum (OAM) laser p…
Electron pulse train accelerated by a linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam
Yin Shi, David R Blackman, Ping Zhu +1
A linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian (LP-LG) laser beam with a twist index has field structure that fundamentally differs from the field structure of a conventional line…
Electron Acceleration Using Twisted Laser Wavefronts
Yin Shi, David Blackman, Alexey Arefiev
Using plasma mirror injection we demonstrate, both analytically and numerically, that a circularly polarized helical laser pulse can accelerate highly collimated dense bunches of e…
Generation of ultra-relativistic monoenergetic electron bunches via a synergistic interaction of longitudinal electric and magnetic fields of a twisted laser
Yin Shi, David Blackman, Dan Stutman +1
We use 3D simulations to demonstrate that high-quality ultra-relativistic electron bunches can be generated upon reflection of a twisted laser beam off a plasma mirror. The unique…
Effects of simulation dimensionality on laser-driven electron acceleration and photon emission in hollow micro-channel targets
Tao Wang, David Blackman, Katherine Chin +1
Using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) kinetic simulations, we examine the impact of simulation dimensionality on the laser-driven electron acceleration and the emis…
Kinetic plasma waves carrying orbital angular momentum
D. Blackman, R. Nuter, Ph. Korneev +1
The structure of Langmuir plasma waves carrying a finite angular orbital momentum is revised in the paraxial optics approximation. It is shown that the kinetic effects related to h…
Efficient ion acceleration and dense electron-positron plasma creation in ultra-high intensity laser-solid interactions
D. Del Sorbo, D. R. Blackman, R. Capdessus +9
The radiation pressure of next generation ultra-high intensity ( W/cm) lasers could efficiently accelerate ions to GeV energies. However, nonlinear quantum-electrod…
