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…
Ultra-short lifetime isomer studies from photonuclear reactions using laser-driven ultra-intense γ-ray
Di Wu, Haoyang Lan, Jiaxing Liu +29
Isomers, ubiquitous populations of relatively long-lived nuclear excited states, play a crucial role in nuclear physics. However, isomers with half-life times of several seconds or…
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
Yinren Shou, Defeng Kong, Pengjie Wang +14
We demonstrate the high-efficiency generation of water-window soft x-ray emissions from polyethylene nanowire array targets irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses at the intensity…
Laser-induced damage thresholds of ultrathin targets and their constrain on laser contrast in laser-driven ion acceleration experiments
Dahui Wang, Yinren Shou, Pengjie Wang +10
Single-shot laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) measurements of multi-type free-standing ultrathin foils were performed in vacuum environment for 800 nm laser pulses with duratio…
Simultaneous measurements on the electron and X-ray spectra from laser-irradiated near-critical-density double-layer targets at relativistic intensity
Jianbo Liu, Pengjie Wang, Yinren Shou +12
We report the experimental results of simultaneous measurements on the electron and X-ray spectra from near-critical-density (NCD) double-layer targets irradiated by relativistic f…
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…
Positioning of Transparent Targets Using Defocusing Method in a Laser Proton Accelerator
Yinren Shou, Dahui Wang, Pengjie Wang +11
We report a positioning method for transparent targets with an accuracy of \SI{2}{μm} for a compact laser proton accelerator. The positioning system consists of two light-emitting…
Distribution uniformity of laser-accelerated proton beams
J. G. Zhu, K. Zhu, L. Tao +8
Compared with conventional accelerators, laser plasma accelerators can generate high energy ions at a greatly reduced scale, due to their TV/m acceleration gradient. A compact lase…
Supercontinuum generation and carrier envelope offset frequency measurement in a tapered single-mode fiber
Long Zhang, Hainian Han, Yanying Zhao +3
We report supercontinuum generation by launching femtosecond Yb fiber laser pulses into a tapered single-mode fiber of 3 um core diameter. A spectrum of more than one octave, from…
