A plasma photocathode for spin-polarized electron beams via state-selected hydrogen halide photofragments
Lars Reichwein, Thomas C. Wilson, Dimitris Sofikitis +6
Spin-polarized electron beams are essential tools for probing fundamental symmetries and for the search beyond the Standard Model. While plasma-based accelerators are a promising p…
Laguerre-Gaussian pulses for spin-polarized ion beam acceleration
Lars Reichwein, Tong-Pu Yu, Alexander Pukhov +1
Polarized particle sources have a plethora of applications, ranging from deep-inelastic scattering to nuclear fusion. One crucial challenge in laser-plasma interaction is maintaini…
Interaction of Laguerre-Gaussian laser pulses with borane targets of different hydrogen-boron ratio
Lars Reichwein, Alexander Pukhov, Markus Büscher
We study the interaction of high-intensity Laguerre Gaussian laser pulses with hydrogen-boron compounds targets using 3D particle-in-cell simulations. The ratio of hydrogen to boro…
High-energy polarized electron beams from the ionization of isolated spin polarized hydrogen atoms
Dimitris Sofikitis, Lars Reichwein, Marios G. Stamatakis +5
We propose a laser-based method for the preparation of high-energy polarized electrons, from the ionization of isolated spin-polarized hydrogen (SPH) atoms. The SPH atoms are prepa…
Generation of polarized electron beams through self-injection in the interaction of a laser with a pre-polarized plasma
L. R. Yin, X. F. Li, Y. J. Gu +6
Polarized electron beam production via laser wakefield acceleration in pre-polarized plasma is investigated by particle-in-cell simulations. The evolution of the electron beam pola…
Preservation of He ion polarization after laser-plasma acceleration
Chuan Zheng, Pavel Fedorets, Ralf Engels +11
The preservation of nuclear spin alignment in plasmas is a prerequisite for important applications, such as energy production through polarized fusion or the acceleration of polari…
