Robust direct laser acceleration of electrons with flying-focus laser pulses
Talia Meir, Kale Weichman, Alexey Arefiev +2
Direct laser acceleration (DLA) offers a compact source of high-charge, energetic electrons for generating secondary radiation or neutrons. While DLA in high-density plasma optimiz…
Joule-Class Pulsed THz Sources from Microchannel Targets
G. Bruhaug, H. G. Rinderknecht, K. Weichman +9
Inference of joule-class THz radiation sources from microchannel targets driven with hundreds of joule, picosecond lasers is reported. THz sources of this magnitude are useful for…
Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration in the bubble regime
Kyle G. Miller, Jacob R. Pierce, Manfred V. Ambat +5
Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) have electric fields that are orders of magnitude larger than those of conventional accelerators, promising an attractive, small-scale alternat…
Analytic pulse technique for computational electromagnetics
K. Weichman, K. G. Miller, B. Malaca +6
Numerical modeling of electromagnetic waves is an important tool for understanding the interaction of light and matter, and lies at the core of computational electromagnetics. Trad…
