Characterization and automated optimization of laser-driven proton beams from converging liquid sheet jet targets
G. D. Glenn, F. Treffert, H. Ahmed +31
Compact, stable, and versatile laser-driven ion sources hold great promise for applications ranging from medicine to materials science and fundamental physics. While single-shot so…
Efficient ion re-acceleration in laboratory-produced interpenetrating collisionless shocks
W. Yao, I. Cohen, P. Suarez Gerona +20
Although the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question, collisionless magnetized shock waves are widely regarded as key sites for particle acceleration. Recent theories…
Saturation of the compression of two interacting magnetic flux tubes evidenced in the laboratory
A. Sladkov, C. Fegan, W. Yao +16
Interactions between magnetic fields advected by matter play a fundamental role in the Universe at a diverse range of scales. A crucial role these interactions play is in making tu…
Spatial characterization of debris ejection from the interaction of a tightly focused PW-laser pulse with metal targets
I. -M. Vladisavlevici, C. Vlachos, J. -L. Dubois +22
We present a novel scheme for rapid quantitative analysis of debris generated during experiments with solid targets following relativistic laser-plasma interaction at high-power la…
