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…
