Electron acceleration by relativistic surface plasmons in laser-grating interaction
Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni, Giada Cantono +9
The generation of energetic electron bunches by the interaction of a short, ultra-intense () laser pulse with "grating" targets has been investigated in…
Particle acceleration and radiation friction effects in the filamentation instability of pair plasmas
M. D'Angelo, L. Fedeli, A. Sgattoni +2
The evolution of the filamentation instability produced by two counter-streaming pair plasmas is studied with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations in both one (1D) and two (2D) spati…
Advanced strategies for ion acceleration using high power lasers
A. Macchi, A. Sgattoni, S. Sinigardi +2
A short overview of laser-plasma acceleration of ions is presented. The focus is on some recent experimental results and related theoretical work on advanced regimes. These latter…
Radiation pressure dominant acceleration: polarization and radiation reaction effects, and energy increase in three-dimensional simulations
M. Tamburini, T. V. Liseykina, F. Pegoraro +1
Polarization and radiation reaction (RR) effects in the interaction of a superintense laser pulse (I > 10^23 W/cm^2) with a thin plasma foil are investigated with three dimensional…
Surface Oscillations in Overdense Plasmas Irradiated by Ultrashort Laser Pulses
A. Macchi, F. Cornolti, F. Pegoraro +3
The generation of electron surface oscillations in overdense plasmas irradiated at normal incidence by an intense laser pulse is investigated. Two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell…
"Single-cycle" ionization effects in laser-matter interaction
E. Conejero Jarque, F. Cornolti, A. Macchi +1
We investigate numerically effects related to ``single-cycle'' ionization of dense matter by an ultra-short laser pulse. The strongly non-adiabatic response of electrons leads to g…
