Impact of Residual Angular Chirp in a Petawatt-class Laser System on Laser-driven Proton Acceleration
Qingfan Wu, Minjian Wu, Jiarui Zhao +25
Laser-driven proton acceleration has attracted considerable interest owing to its appealing potential in versatile applications including cancer therapy. Proton energies depend cri…
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…
