Extreme high field plasmonics: electron acceleration and XUV harmonic generation from ultrashort surface plasmons
A. Macchi, G. Cantono, L. Fedeli +2
Experiments on the excitation of propagating surface plasmons (SPs) by ultrashort, high intensity laser interaction with "grating" targets are reviewed. At intensities exceeding $1…
Efficiency of radiation friction losses in laser-driven "hole boring" of dense targets
S. V. Popruzhenko, T. V. Liseykina, A. Macchi
In the interaction of laser pulses of extreme intensity () with high-density, thick plasma targets, simulations show significant radiation friction losses…
Radiation Pressure Driven Ion Weibel Instability and Collisionless Shocks
Anna Grassi, Mickael Grech, Francois Amiranoff +2
The Weibel instability from counterstreaming plasma flows is a basic process highly relevant for collisionless shock formation in astrophysics. In this Letter we investigate, via t…
Vlasov simulation of laser-driven shock acceleration and ion turbulence
Anna Grassi, Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni +1
We present a Vlasov, i.e. a kinetic Eulerian simulation study of nonlinear collisionless ion-acoustic shocks and solitons excited by an intense laser interacting with an overdense…
Laser-Driven Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: Plasmonics Effects and Three-Dimensional Structures
Andrea Sgattoni, Stefano Sinigardi, Luca Fedeli +2
The acceleration of dense targets driven by the radiation pressure of high-intensity lasers leads to a Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) with rippling of the interaction surface. U…
Dynamics of self-generated, large amplitude magnetic fields following high-intensity laser matter interaction
G. Sarri, A. Macchi, C. A. Cecchetti +15
The dynamics of magnetic fields with amplitude of several tens of Megagauss, generated at both sides of a solid target irradiated with a high intensity (? 1019W/cm2) picosecond las…
Ion acceleration in multispecies targets driven by intense laser radiation pressure
S. Kar, K. F. Kakolee, B. Qiao +15
The acceleration of ions from ultra-thin foils has been investigated using 250 TW, sub-ps laser pulses, focused on target at intensities up to $3\times10^{20} \Wcm2$. The ion spect…
Features of ion acceleration by circularly polarized laser pulses
T. V. Liseykina, A. Macchi
The characteristics of a MeV ion source driven by superintense, ultrashort laser pulses with circular polarization are studied by means of particle-in-cell simulations. Predicted f…
