Theory of Relativistic Surface Plasmon Excitation on Smooth Surface by High-Intensity Laser
Bifeng Lei, Bin Qiao, Matt Zepf +2
We present a classical theory of relativistic surface plasmon (RSP) excitation at a smooth plasma-vacuum interface driven by either a ponderomotive force or an electric field of an…
Resonant Excitation of Surface Plasmon for Wakefield Acceleration by Beating GW Lasers on Smooth Cylindrical Surface
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Alexandre Bonatto +5
We present a theoretical and numerical study of resonant surface-plasmon (SP) excitation driven by the beating of two co-propagating laser pulses on a smooth cylindrical plasma-vac…
Coherent synchrotron radiation by excitation of surface plasmon polariton on near-critical solid microtube surface
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Daniel Seipt +5
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is crucial for the development of powerful ultrashort light sources. We present a mechanism for generating CSR in the form of generalised super…
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…
100s TeV/m-Level Particle Accelerators Driven by High-density Electron Beams in Micro Structured Carbon Nanotube Forest Channel
Bifeng Lei, Hao Zhang, Cristian Bontoiu +5
Solid-state materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have the potential to support ultra-high accelerating fields in the TV/m range for charged particle acceleration. In this st…
Plasmonic excitations in graphene layers
Pablo Martín-Luna, Alexandre Bonatto, Cristian Bontoiu +3
The interaction of fast charged particles with graphene layers can generate electromagnetic modes. This wake effect has been recently proposed for short-wavelength, high-gradient p…
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…
Plasmonic excitations in double-walled carbon nanotubes
Pablo Martín-Luna, Alexandre Bonatto, Cristian Bontoiu +2
The interactions of charged particles moving paraxially in multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) may excite electromagnetic modes. This wake effect has recently been proposed as a…
Excitation of wakefields in carbon nanotubes: a hydrodynamic model approach
P. Martín-Luna, A. Bonatto, C. Bontoiu +2
The interactions of charged particles with carbon nanotubes may excite electromagnetic modes in the electron gas produced in the cylindrical graphene shell constituting the nanotub…
