PIC: A callback-centric particle-in-cell framework
Xuesong Geng, Yunwei Cui, Lingang Zhang +1
We present PIC, a Python-based electromagnetic particle-in-cell framework built around a callback-centric architecture. Existing PIC codes typically tie high performance to stat…
Efficient Generation of Neutrons Based on Ultrashort Laser-driven Direct Acceleration in Microwire-Array Targets
Kaiyuan Feng, Debin Zou, Bo Cui +17
We report on an experimental demonstration of efficient neutron generation based on direct laser acceleration in microwire-array targets irradiated by ultrashort (tens of femtoseco…
Enhanced electron injection for efficient proton acceleration and neutron production in femtosecond laser-driven nano-structured targets
Yingzi Dai, Chengyu Qin, Hui Zhang +22
Micro- or nano-structured targets are advantageous in enhancing and manipulating laser-proton acceleration, due to the increased absorption of laser energy and onset of direct lase…
Collimated QED Cascades with Curved Plasma Mirror
Xuesong Geng, M. A. Serebryakov, E. N. Nerush +3
Converting light into matter has been a longstanding goal in physics, particularly the creation of electron-positron pairs through quantum electrodynamic (QED) processes. While cur…
Self-seeded photon acceleration by electron beam-driven transition radiation
Chaolu Ding, Xuesong Geng, Liangliang Ji
Photon acceleration (PA) driven by ultra-relativistic electron beams offers a promising approach to generating high-power, high-frequency coherent radiation sources. While current…
Zeptosecond Gamma-Ray Pulses Generation via FEL-Driven Microbunching and Laser-Compton Scattering
Jinke Xiong, Hanghua Xu, Liangliang Ji +1
We introduce a novel and reliable approach to generate zeptosecond(10^{-21} s,zs), high-energy photon pulse bursts by synergistically exploiting the inherent characteristics of Fre…
Towards manipulating relativistic laser pulses with 3D printed materials
L. L. Ji, J. Snyder, A. Pukhov +2
Efficient coupling of intense laser pulses to solid-density matter is critical to many applications including ion acceleration for cancer therapy. At relativistic intensities, the…
Gamma-ray generation in ultrahigh-intensity laser-foil interactions
E. N. Nerush, I. Yu. Kostyukov, L. Ji +1
Incoherent photon emission by ultrarelativistic electrons in the normal incidence of a laser pulse on a foil is investigated by means of three-dimensional numerical simulations in…
