Conversion of weighted macro-particle distributions
Nicolas Pichoff, Samuel Marini
This article introduces a method for adjusting macro-particle weights within a particle distribution while preserving statistical and physical properties. The method allows the wei…
Electron acceleration by laser plasma wedge interaction
S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, M. Grech +2
A new electron acceleration mechanism is identified that develops when a relativistically intense laser irradiates the wedge of an over-dense plasma. This induces a diffracted elec…
Key parameters for surface plasma wave excitation in the ultra-high intensity regime
S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, F. Amiranoff +3
Ultra-short high-power lasers can deliver extreme light intensities ( W/cm and s) and drive large amplitude Surface Plasma Wave (SPW) at over-dense plas…
Ultrashort high energy electron bunches from tunable surface plasma waves driven with laser wavefront rotation
S. Marini, P. S. Kleij, F. Pisani +5
We propose to use ultra-high intensity laser pulses with wavefront rotation (WFR) to produce short, ultra-intense surface plasma waves (SPW) on grating targets for electron acceler…
Magnetism of CaV_2O_5, CaV_3O_7, CaV_4O_9: quantum effects or orbital ordering?
S. Marini, D. Khomskii
The quasi 2-d spin 1/2 materials CaV_nO_2n+1 (n=2,3,4) are often treated as systems in which quantum effects play a dominant role: CaV_2O_5 has a spin gap and is thought to be a sp…
