Laser focusing equivalence behavior of mass-limited targets in laser particle acceleration
Toshimasa Morita
The generation of 200 MeV class protons by irradiating a 25 J laser pulse onto a water target using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation is shown. Two types of targets --…
Characteristics of ion beams by laser acceleration in the Coulomb explosion regime
Toshimasa Morita
In the Coulomb explosion acceleration regime, an ion bunch with a narrow energy range exhibits a thin shell shape with a certain diameter. The ion cloud has a layered structure of…
Topological approach for laser acceleration investigation
Toshimasa Morita
An approach using topology reveals a new understanding and knowledge of laser particle acceleration. Laser pulse irradiation on a thin-foil target is examined using two-dimensional…
Proton energy behavior by variation of the target density in laser acceleration
Toshimasa Morita
Ion acceleration using a laser pulse irradiating a thin disk target is examined using three-dimensional and two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. A laser pulse of TW,…
Approach towards quasi-monoenergetic laser ion acceleration with doped target
Toshimasa Morita
Ion acceleration by using a laser pulse irradiating a disk target which includes hydrogen and carbon is examined using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. It is shown t…
Prepulse and amplified spontaneous emission effects on the interaction of a petawatt class laser with thin solid targets
Timur Zh. Esirkepov, James K. Koga, Atsushi Sunahara +17
When a finite contrast petawatt laser pulse irradiates a micron-thick foil, a prepulse (including amplified spontaneous emission) creates a preplasma, where an ultrashort relativis…
