Coherent Thomson backscattering from laser-driven relativistic ultra-thin electron layers
Jürgen Meyer-ter-Vehn, Hui-Chun Wu
The generation of laser-driven dense relativistic electron layers from ultra-thin foils and their use for coherent Thomson backscattering is discussed, applying analytic theory and…
The reflectivity of relativistic ultra-thin electron layers
Hui-Chun Wu, Jürgen Meyer-ter-Vehn
The coherent reflectivity of a dense, relativistic, ultra-thin electron layer is derived analytically for an obliquely incident probe beam. Results are obtained by two-fold Lorentz…
Acceleration of ultra-thin electron layer. Analytical treatment compared with 1D-PIC simulation
Meng Wen, Hui-Chun Wu, Jürgen Meyer-ter-Vehn +1
In this paper, we apply an analytical model [V.V. Kulagin et al., Phys. Plasmas 14,113101 (2007)] to describe the acceleration of an ultra-thin electron layer by a schematic single…
Fast ignition of fusion targets by laser-driven electrons
J. J. Honrubia, J. Meyer-ter-Vehn
We present hybrid PIC simulations of fast electron transport and energy deposition in pre-compressed fusion targets, taking full account of collective magnetic effects and the hydr…
