Efficient ion re-acceleration in laboratory-produced interpenetrating collisionless shocks
W. Yao, I. Cohen, P. Suarez Gerona +20
Although the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question, collisionless magnetized shock waves are widely regarded as key sites for particle acceleration. Recent theories…
Simultaneous PW-scale laser driven MeV X-ray and neutron beam characterization for dual radiography capability
I. Cohen, W. Yao, N. Mirkovic +28
Laser-driven, high-brilliance secondary sources (electrons, ions, neutrons, X-rays) open new perspectives for compact material probing and imaging of high-speed events. A key advan…
Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions
Aimé Matheron, Doug Storey, Max F. Gilljohann +25
Extreme beams of charged particles and photons, reaching ultrahigh densities or producing intense gamma-ray bursts, are central to accelerator physics, laboratory astrophysics, and…
Particle acceleration up to the synchrotron burn-off limit in relativistic magnetized turbulence
M. Lemoine, V. Bresci, L. Gremillet
In high-energy astrophysics, interpreting observed spectra hinges on understanding the competition between energy gains and radiative losses. To progress along these lines, we repo…
