Limitations of post accelerating ion beams using the snowplow field in a near-critical density target
Davide Terzani, Stepan S. Bulanov, Lieselotte Obst-Huebl +11
Laser-matter interaction at relativistic intensities is central to almost every scientific case for multi-PW laser facilities. In particular, the progress in laser-driven ion accel…
Brilliant multi-GeV Compton gamma-ray source seeded by a photon accelerator
Michael J. Quin, Stepan S. Bulanov, Arkady Gonoskov +4
High-brilliance sources of polarized gamma rays are widely sought after to pump and probe matter at subatomic length scales. However, existing accelerator facilities and optical la…
Pair-loaded electron-only magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils
Brandon K. Russell, Qian Qian, Rebecca Fitzgarrald +12
We propose and simulate a laboratory platform to study the effects of positrons in magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we…
Reaching extreme fields in laser-electron beam collisions with XUV laser light
Brandon K. Russell, Christopher P. Ridgers, Stepan S. Bulanov +8
Plasma-based particle accelerators promise to extend the revolutionary work performed with conventional particle accelerators to studies with smaller footprints, lower costs, and h…
Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
Dephasing of ion beams as Magnetic Vortex Acceleration regime transitions into a bubble-like field structure
Sahel Hakimi, Stepan S. Bulanov, Axel Huebl +9
The interaction of an ultra-intense laser pulse with a near critical density target results in the formation of a plasma channel, a strong azimuthal magnetic field and moving vorti…
