Energy-optimized scaling laws for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
Petr Valenta, Marcel Lamač, Kyle G. Miller +4
Laser wakefield acceleration promises compact electron accelerators for applications in medicine, industry, and fundamental science. Yet, despite rapid progress, accurately predict…
Pair-loaded electron-only magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils
Brandon K. Russell, Qian Qian, Rebecca Fitzgarrald +12
We propose and simulate a laboratory platform to study the effects of positrons in magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we…
Photon Accelerator in Magnetized Electron-Ion Plasma
Sergei Bulanov, Stepan Bulanov, Timur Esirkepov +6
Strong magnetic fields and plasmas are intrinsically linked in both terrestrial laboratory experiments and in space phenomena. One of the most profound consequences of that is the…
Optimized matching conditions for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
P. Valenta, K. G. Miller, B. K. Russell +4
We revisit the matching conditions for self-guided laser pulse propagation in plasma and refine their formulation to maximize the energy of electrons produced via laser wakefield a…
High-Energy Photon Generation from Self-Organized Plasma Cavities in Field-Enhanced Laser-Preplasma Interactions
Prokopis Hadjisolomou, Rashid Shaisultanon, Tae Moon Jeong +2
The interaction of an ultraintense Nd:glass laser pulse with a near-critical plasma self-organizes into a highly efficient -ray source. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simula…
Towards controlling electron charge with nanoparticle assisted laser wakefield accelerators
Alžběta Špádová, Petr Valenta, Sebastian Lorenz +4
This study explores nanoparticle-assisted electron injection as a method for controlling beam charge in laser wakefield acceleration through particle-in-cell simulations. We system…
