Photo-induced pair production and strong field QED on Gemini
CH Keitel, A Di Piazza, GG Paulus +12
The extreme intensities obtainable with lasers such as Gemini allow non-linear QED phenomena to be investigated according to our calculations. Electron-positron pair production fro…
Laser acceleration of highly energetic carbon ions using a double-layer target composed of slightly underdense plasma and ultrathin foil
W. J. Ma, I Jong Kim, J. Q. Yu +18
We report the experimental generation of highly energetic carbon ions up to 48 MeV per nucleon by shooting double-layer targets composed of well-controlled slightly underdense plas…
Enhanced laser-driven ion acceleration by superponderomotive electrons generated from near-critical-density plasma
J. H. Bin, M. Yeung, Z. Gong +10
We report on the experimental studies of laser driven ion acceleration from double-layer target where a near-critical density target with a few-micron thickness is coated in front…
Experimental signatures of the quantum nature of radiation reaction in the field of an ultra-intense laser
K. Poder, M. Tamburini, G. Sarri +21
The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics. R…
Single 100-terawatt attosecond X-ray light pulse generation
X. R. Xu, B. Qiao, Y. X. Zhang +7
The birth of attosecond light sources is expected to inspire a breakthrough in ultrafast optics, which may extend human real-time measurement and control techniques into atomic-sca…
Selective Deuterium Ion Acceleration Using the Vulcan PW Laser
AG Krygier, JT Morrison, S Kar +17
We report on the successful demonstration of selective acceleration of deuterium ions by target-normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) with a high-energy petawatt laser. TNSA typically…
Bright subcycle XUV pulse from a single dense relativistic electron sheet
W. J. Ma, J. H. Bin, H. Y. Wang +11
Relativistic electrons are prodigious sources of photons. Beyond classical accelerators, ultra-intense laser interactions are of particular interest as they allow the coherent moti…
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…
