On the design of experiments to study extreme field limits
S. S. Bulanov, M. Chen, C. B. Schroeder +13
We propose experiments on the collision of high intensity electromagnetic pulses with electron bunches and on the collision of multiple electromagnetic pulses for studying extreme…
Optimized laser pulse profile for efficient radiation pressure acceleration of ions
S. S. Bulanov, C. B. Schroeder, E. Esarey +1
The radiation pressure acceleration regime of laser ion acceleration requires high intensity laser pulses to function efficiently. Moreover the foil should be opaque for incident r…
Numerical calculations of a high brilliance synchrotron source and on issues with characterizing strong radiation damping effects in non-linear Thomson/Compton backscattering experiments
A. G. R. Thomas, C. P. Ridgers, S. S. Bulanov +2
A number of theoretical calculations have studied the effect of radiation reaction forces on radiation distributions in strong field counter-propagating electron beam-laser interac…
Ion Acceleration by the Radiation Pressure of Slow Electromagnetic Wave
S. V. Bulanov, T. Zh. Esirkepov, M. Kando +6
When the ions are accelerated by the radiation pressure of the laser pulse, their velocity can not exceed the laser group velocity, in the case when it is less than the speed of li…
On the breaking of a plasma wave in a thermal plasma: II. Electromagnetic wave interaction with the breaking plasma wave
Sergei V. Bulanov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Masaki Kando +8
The structure of the density singularity formed in a relativistically large amplitude plasma wave close to the wavebreaking limit leads to a refraction coefficient which has a coor…
On the breaking of a plasma wave in a thermal plasma: I. The structure of the density singularity
Sergei V. Bulanov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Masaki Kando +8
The structure of the singularity that is formed in a relativistically large amplitude plasma wave close to the wavebreaking limit is found by using a simple waterbag electron distr…
