Electron acceleration and X-ray generation from near-critical-density carbon nanotube foams driven by moderately relativistic lasers
Zhuo Pan, Jianbo Liu, Pengjie Wang +21
Direct laser acceleration of electrons in near-critical-density (NCD) carbon nanotube foams (CNFs) has its advantages in the high-efficiency generation of relativistic electrons an…
Vibration and jitter of free-flowing thin liquid sheets as target for high-repetition-rate laser-ion acceleration
Zhengxuan Cao, Ziyang Peng, Yinren Shou +18
Very thin free-flowing liquid sheets are promising targets for high-repetition-rate laser-ion acceleration. In this work, we report the generation of micrometer-thin free-flowing l…
Synchronous post-acceleration of laser-driven protons in helical coil targets by controlling the current dispersion
Zhipeng Liu, Zhusong Mei, Defeng Kong +15
Post-acceleration of protons in helical coil targets driven by intense, ultrashort laser pulses can enhance the ion energy by utilizing the transient current originating from the s…
Alpha-particle generation from H-11B fusion initiated by laser-accelerated boron ions
Defeng Kong, Shirui Xu, Yinren Shou +21
Here we report the generation of MeV alpha-particles from H-11B fusion initiated by laser-accelerated boron ions. Boron ions with maximum energy of 6MeV and fluence of 10^9/MeV/sr@…
High-energy-density plasma in femtosecond-laser-irradiated nanowire array targets for nuclear reactions
Defeng Kong, Guoqiang Zhang, Yinren Shou +21
In this work, the high-energy-density plasmas (HEDP) evolved from joule-class-femtosecond-laser-irradiated nanowire array (NWA) targets are numerically and experimentally studied.…
High-efficiency water-window x-ray generation from nanowire array targets irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses

Measurements of D-D fusion neutrons generated in nanowire array laser plasma using Timepix3 detector
Peter Rubovic, Aldo Bonasera, Petr Burian +24
We present the results of neutron detection in a laser plasma experiment with a CD nanowire target. A hybrid semiconductor pixel detector Timepix3 covered with neutron converte…
Super-Heavy Ions Acceleration Driven by Ultrashort Laser Pulses at Ultrahigh Intensity
Pengjie Wang, Zheng Gong, Seong Geun Lee +17
The acceleration of super-heavy ions (SHIs) from plasmas driven by ultrashort (tens of femtoseconds) laser pulses is a challenging topic waiting for breakthrough. The detecting and…
