Laser harmonic generation with tuneable orbital angular momentum using a structured plasma target
R. M. G. M. Trines, H. Schmitz, M. King +2
In previous studies of spin-to-orbital angular momentum (AM) conversion in laser high harmonic generation (HHG) using a plasma target, one unit of spin AM is always converted into…
Automated control and optimisation of laser driven ion acceleration
B. Loughran, M. J. V. Streeter, H. Ahmed +32
The interaction of relativistically intense lasers with opaque targets represents a highly non-linear, multi-dimensional parameter space. This limits the utility of sequential 1D s…
Bunched proton acceleration from a laser-irradiated cone target
Xing-Long Zhu, Wei-Yuan Liu, Min Chen +4
Laser-driven ion acceleration is an attractive technique for compact high-energy ion sources. Currently, among various physical and technical issues to be solved, the boost of ion…
Buffered spectrally-peaked proton beams in the relativistic-transparency regime
N. P. Dover, M. J. V. Streeter, C. A. J. Palmer +23
Spectrally-peaked proton beams ( MeV, MeV) have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( Wcm) with ultrathin CH foi…
