Effects of Laser Polarization on Target Focusing and Acceleration in a Laser-Ion Lens and Accelerator
Roopendra Singh Rajawat, Tianhong Wang, V. Khudik +1
We present the process of ion acceleration using ultra-thin foils irradiated by elliptically polarized, high-intensity laser pulses. Recently, efficient generation of monoenergetic…

Continuum damping of topologically-protected edge modes at the boundary of a magnetized plasma
Roopendra Singh Rajawat, V. Khudik, G. Shvets
Recent extension of the topological ideas to continuous systems with broken time-reversal symmetry, such as magnetized plasmas, provides new insights into the nature of scattering-…
