Bayesian optimization of longitudinally aligned CNT targets for 800 nm laser wakefield acceleration in the bubble regime
B. S. Nunes, P. Martín-Luna, J. Rodríguez-Pérez +8
Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) in solid-density plasmas can reach accelerating gradients in the TeV/m range, well above those of gaseous media, provided the driver is matched…
Bayesian Optimization of Molybdenum-99 Production by Laser Wakefield Acceleration Using Coupled PIC and Monte Carlo Simulations
Bruno Silveira Nunes, Nilson Dias Vieira Junior, Mirko Salomón Alva Sánchez +2
This work applies Bayesian optimization to a loop composed of PIC simulations of laser electron acceleration and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of bremsstrahlung-induced nuclear reac…
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…
