Damping dynamics of the centroid oscillation of a relativistic laser pulse in a plasma channel
Yuhui Xia, Zhenan Wang, Ziyao Tang +10
The centroid oscillation of an offset laser pulse propagating in a preformed plasma channel is investigated through theoretical analysis and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simu…
Effects of realistic laser intensity and phase distribution on high-charge laser wakefield acceleration
Yuhui Xia, Zhenan Wang, Ziyao Tang +14
Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) can produce relativistic electron beams and various secondary particles in centimeter-long plasmas, making it a valuable particle source with im…
Nanometer-scale pre-bunched electron beams generated from all-optical plasma-based acceleration
Zhenan Wang, Zewei Xu, Qianyi Ma +7
High-quality and prebunched electron beams can produce coherent x-rays with high intensity and narrow bandwidth, which is essential for modern light sources. An all-optical scheme…
Generating 10 GW-class isolated zeptosecond x-ray bursts through bootstrapping two plasma-based accelerator stages
Qianyi Ma, Yuhui Xia, Zhenan Wang +8
A method is proposed to generate coherent, intense zeptosecond x-ray pulses by using the electron beam produced by a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) stage as the driver for a be…
Ultra-short lifetime isomer studies from photonuclear reactions using laser-driven ultra-intense γ-ray
Di Wu, Haoyang Lan, Jiaxing Liu +29
Isomers, ubiquitous populations of relatively long-lived nuclear excited states, play a crucial role in nuclear physics. However, isomers with half-life times of several seconds or…
On the generation of attosecond gigawatt soft X-ray pulses through coherent Thomson backscattering
Qianyi Ma, Jiaxin Liu, Zhuo Pan +8
Collision between relativistic electron sheets and counter-propagating laser pulses is recognized as a promising way to produce intense attosecond X-rays through coherent Thomson b…
