Leaky surface plasmon-based wakefield acceleration in nanostructured carbon nanotubes

Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Cristian Bontoiu +6

Metallic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can provide ultra-dense, homogeneous plasma capable of sustaining resonant plasma waves-known as plasmons-with ultra-high field amplitudes. These w…

Electron Acceleration in Carbon Nanotubes

Cristian Bontoiu, Alexandre Bonatto, Öznur Apsimon +16

Wakefield wavelengths associated with solid-state plasmas greatly limit the accelerating length. An alternative approach employs 2D carbon-based nanomaterials, like graphene or car…

Bayesian optimization of laser wakefield acceleration in the self-modulated regime (SM-LWFA) aiming to produce molybdenum-99 via photonuclear reactions

B. S. Nunes, S. P. Santos, R. P. Nunes +7

While laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) in the bubble regime demands ultra-short, high-peak-power laser pulses, operation in the self-modulated regime (SM-LWFA) works with more r…
