Self-trapping and acceleration of ions in laser-driven relativistically transparent plasma
B. Liu, J. Meyer-ter-Vehn, H. Ruhl
Self-trapping and acceleration of ions in laser-driven relativistically transparent plasma are investigated with the help of particle-in-cell simulations. A theoretical model based…
Coherent keV backscattering from plasma-wave boosted relativistic electron mirrors
F. Y. Li, Z. M. Sheng, M. Chen +5
A new parameter regime of laser wakefield acceleration driven by sub-petawatt femotsecond lasers is proposed, which enables the generation of relativistic electron mirrors further…
Radially Polarized, Half-Cycle, Attosecond Pulses from Laser Wakefields through Coherent Synchrotron Radiation
F. Y. Li, Z. M. Sheng, M. Chen +4
Attosecond bursts of coherent synchrotron-like radiation are found when driving ultrathin relativistic electron disks in a quasi-one-dimensional regime of wakefield acceleration, i…
Fast ignition of inertial fusion targets by laser-driven carbon beams
J. J. Honrubia, J. C. Fernandez, M. Temporal +2
Two-dimensional simulations of ion beam driven fast ignition are presented. Ignition energies of protons with Maxwellian spectrum and carbon ions with quasimonoenergetic and Maxwel…
Efficient ion acceleration by collective laser-driven electron dynamics with ultra-thin foil targets
S. Steinke, A. Henig, M. Schnürer +11
Experiments on ion acceleration by irradiation of ultra-thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) foils, with thicknesses well below the skin depth, irradiated with laser pulses of ultra-high…
Collective deceleration: toward a compact beam dump
H. -C. Wu, T. Tajima, D. Habs +2
With the increasing development of laser accelerators, the electron energy is already beyond GeV and even higher in near future. Conventional beam dump based on ionization or radia…
