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…
Nano-scale electron bunching in laser-triggered ionization injection in plasma accelerators
X. L. Xu, C. J. Zhang, F. Li +9
Ionization injection is attractive as a controllable injection scheme for generating high quality electron beams using plasma-based wakefield acceleration. Due to the phase depende…
Elimination of the numerical Cerenkov instability for spectral EM-PIC codes
Peicheng Yu, Xinlu Xu, Viktor K. Decyk +7
When using an electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) code to simulate a relativistically drifting plasma, a violent numerical instability known as the numerical Cerenkov instabi…
Numerical instability due to relativistic plasma drift in EM-PIC simulations
Xinlu Xu, Peicheng Yu, Samual F. Martins +6
The numerical instability observed in the Electromagnetic-Particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) simulations with a plasma drifting with relativistic velocities is studied using both theory and…
