On the Role of Atomic Binding Forces and Warm-Dense-Matter Physics in the Modeling of mJ-Class Laser-Induced Surface Ablation
Asher Davidson, George Petrov, Daniel Gordon +1
Ultrafast laser heating of electrons on a metal surface breaks the pressure equilibrium within the material, thus initiating ablation. The stasis of a room-temperature metal result…
Optimizing Laser Wakefield Acceleration in the Nonlinear Self-Guided Regime for Fixed Laser Energy
A. Davidson, A. Tableman, P. Yu +5
The scaling laws for laser wakefield acceleration in the nonlinear, self-guided regime [Lu et al. Phys. Rev. Spec. Top. Accel. Beams 10, 061301 (2007)] are examined in detail using…
Controlling the Numerical Cerenkov Instability in PIC simulations using a customized finite difference Maxwell solver and a local FFT based current correction
Fei Li, Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu +10
In this paper we present a customized finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) Maxwell solver for the particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm. The solver is customized to effectively eliminat…
Mitigation of numerical Cerenkov radiation and instability using a hybrid finite difference-FFT Maxwell solver and a local charge conserving current deposit
Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu, Adam Tableman +9
A hybrid Maxwell solver for fully relativistic and electromagnetic (EM) particle-in-cell (PIC) codes is described. In this solver, the EM fields are solved in space by performi…
Exploiting multi-scale parallelism for large scale numerical modelling of laser wakefield accelerators
Ricardo A. Fonseca, Jorge Vieira, Frederico Fiúza +4
A new generation of laser wakefield accelerators, supported by the extreme accelerating fields generated in the interaction of PW-Class lasers and underdense targets, promises the…
