Enhancement of maximum attainable ion energy in the radiation pressure acceleration regime using a guiding structure
S. S. Bulanov, E. Esarey, C. B. Schroeder +5
Radiation Pressure Acceleration relies on high intensity laser pulse interacting with solid target to obtain high maximum energy, quasimonoenergetic ion beams. Either extremely hig…
Strong field electrodynamics of a thin foil
Sergei V. Bulanov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Masaki Kando +3
Exact solutions describing the nonlinear electrodynamics of a thin double layer foil are presented. These solutions correspond to a broad range of problems of interest for the inte…
Prepulse and amplified spontaneous emission effects on the interaction of a petawatt class laser with thin solid targets
Timur Zh. Esirkepov, James K. Koga, Atsushi Sunahara +17
When a finite contrast petawatt laser pulse irradiates a micron-thick foil, a prepulse (including amplified spontaneous emission) creates a preplasma, where an ultrashort relativis…
Nonlinear Plasma Wave in Magnetized Plasmas
Sergei V. Bulanov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Masaki Kando +4
Nonlinear axisymmetric cylindrical plasma oscillations in magnetized collisionless plasmas are a model for the electron fluid collapse on the axis behind an ultrashort relativisica…
On extreme field limits in high power laser matter interactions: radiation dominant regimes in high intensity electromagnetic wave interaction with electrons
Sergei V. Bulanov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Masaki Kando +6
We discuss the key important regimes of electromagnetic field interaction with charged particles. Main attention is paid to the nonlinear Thomson/Compton scattering regime with the…
