Non-perturbative features of driven scattering systems

Andrea Cintio, Fulvio Cornolti

We investigate the scattering properties of one-dimensional, periodically and non-periodically forced oscillators. The pattern of singularities of the scattering function, in the p…

Ion dynamics and coherent structure formation following laser pulse self-channeling

Andrea Macchi, Alessandra Bigongiari, Francesco Ceccherini +5

The propagation of a superintense laser pulse in an underdense, inhomogeneous plasma has been studied numerically by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations on a time scale ex…

Generation and Observation of Coherent, Long--Lived Structures in a Laser--Plasma Channel

T. V. Liseykina, F. Ceccherini, F. Cornolti +9

In recent experiments of laser pulse interaction at relativistic intensities with a low density plasma, the proton radiography technique showed evidence of long--lived field struct…

Electric field dynamics and ion acceleration in the self-channeling of a superintense laser pulse

A. Macchi, F. Ceccherini, F. Cornolti +2

The dynamics of electric field generation and radial acceleration of ions by a laser pulse of relativistic intensity propagating in an underdense plasma has been investigated using…

Charged State of a Spherical Plasma in Vacuum

F. Cornolti, F. Ceccherini, S. Betti +1

The stationary state of a spherically symmetric plasma configuration is investigated in the limit of immobile ions and weak collisions. Configurations with small radii are positive…

Laser acceleration of ion bunches at the front surface of overdense plasmas

Andrea Macchi, Federica Cattani, Tatiana V. Liseykina +1

The acceleration of ions in the interaction of high intensity laser pulses with overdense plasmas is investigated with particle-in-cell simulations. For circular polarization of th…
