Energy-optimized scaling laws for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
Petr Valenta, Marcel Lamač, Kyle G. Miller +4
Laser wakefield acceleration promises compact electron accelerators for applications in medicine, industry, and fundamental science. Yet, despite rapid progress, accurately predict…
Optimized matching conditions for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
P. Valenta, K. G. Miller, B. K. Russell +4
We revisit the matching conditions for self-guided laser pulse propagation in plasma and refine their formulation to maximize the energy of electrons produced via laser wakefield a…
Visualization of high-intensity laser-matter interactions in virtual reality and web browser
Martin Matys, James P. Thistlewood, Mariana Kecová +7
We present the Virtual Beamline (VBL) application, an interactive web-based platform for visualizing high-intensity laser-matter interactions using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulatio…
Collimated -flash emission along the target surface irradiated by a laser at non-grazing incidence
M. Matys, P. Hadjisolomou, R. Shaisultanov +7
The interaction of a high-power laser with a solid target provides ways to produce beams of -photons. For normal incidence of the laser on the target the beams usually appear i…
