Study on Coulomb explosions of ion mixtures

E. Boella, B. Peiretti Paradisi, A. D'Angola +2

The paper presents a theoretical work on the dynamics of Coulomb explosion for spherical nanoplasmas composed by two different ion species. Particular attention has been dedicated…

Statistical kinetic treatment of relativistic binary collisions

F. Peano, M. Marti, L. O. Silva +1

In particle-based algorithms, the effect of binary collisions is commonly described in a statistical way, using Monte Carlo techniques. It is shown that, in the relativistic regime…

Expansion of nanoplasmas and laser-driven nuclear fusion in single exploding clusters

F. Peano, J. L. Martins, R. A. Fonseca +6

The expansion of laser-irradiated clusters or nanodroplets depends strongly on the amount of energy delivered to the electrons and can be controlled by using appropriately shaped l…

Direct Acceleration of Ions With Variable-frequency Lasers

F. Peano, J. Vieira, R. A. Fonseca +3

A method is proposed for producing monoergetic, high-quality ion beams in vacuum, via direct acceleration by the electromagnetic field of two counterpropagating, variable-frequency…

All-optical trapping and acceleration of heavy particles

F. Peano, J. Vieira, L. O. Silva +2

A scheme for fast, compact, and controllable acceleration of heavy particles in vacuum is proposed, in which two counterpropagating lasers with variable frequencies drive a beat-wa…

Ergodic model for the expansion of spherical nanoplasmas

F. Peano, G. Coppa, F. Peinetti +2

Recently, the collisionless expansion of spherical nanoplasmas has been analyzed with a new ergodic model, clarifying the transition from hydrodynamic-like to Coulomb-explosion reg…
