Laser-driven strong magnetostatic fields with applications to charged beam transport and magnetized high energy-density physics
J. J. Santos, M. Bailly-Grandvaux, M. Ehret +28
Powerful laser-plasma processes are explored to generate discharge currents of a few kA in coil targets, yielding magnetostatic fields (B-fields) in excess of kT. The…
Origins of plateau formation in ion energy spectra under target normal sheath acceleration
Timothy C. DuBois, Evangelos Siminos, Julien Ferri +2
Target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) is a method employed in laser--matter interaction experiments to accelerate light ions (usually protons). Laser setups with durations of a…
Enhancing laser-driven proton acceleration by using micro-pillar arrays at high drive energy
Dimitri Khaghani, Mathieu Lobet, Björn Borm +8
The interaction of micro- and nano-structured target surfaces with high-power laser pulses is being widely investigated for its unprecedented absorption efficiency. We have develop…
Sequential terahertz pulse generation by photoionization and coherent transition radiation in underdense relativistic plasmas
J. Déchard, A. Debayle, X. Davoine +2
Terahertz (THz) emission by two-color, ultrashort optical pulses interacting with underdense helium gases at ultrahigh intensities () is investigated by…
