Laser-driven Ion and Neutron Sources from Medium Repetition Ultrashort PW Laser
X. Jiao, C. Jeon, G. Tiwari +9
We report the first experiment investigating ion acceleration and neutron generation irradiating thin plastic targets (CH2) and deuterated plastic targets (CD2) of thickness rangin…
Laser-Wakefield-Driven Photonuclear and Laser-Driven DD Fusion Neutron Sources for Fast Neutron Capture: A Start-to-End Simulation Study
Ou Z. Labun, D. D. Phan, L. Labun +6
Laser-driven neutron sources offer ultrashort pulse durations and extreme peak fluxes inaccessible to conventional facilities, enabling novel time-of-flight(TOF) spectroscopy and n…
Unified Model of Heated Plasma Expansion
Ritwik Sain, Lance Labun, Ou Z. Labun +1
Motivated by the need to predict plasma density and temperature distributions created in the early stages of high-intensity laser-plasma interactions, we develop a fluid model of p…
Photon and neutron production as in-situ diagnostics of proton-boron fusion
B. M. Hegelich, L. Labun, O. Z. Labun +1
Short-pulse, ultra high-intensity lasers have opened new regimes for studying fusion plasmas and creating novel ultra-short ion beams and neutron sources. Diagnosing the plasma in…
High-charge 10 GeV electron acceleration in a 10 cm nanoparticle-assisted hybrid wakefield accelerator
Constantin Aniculaesei, Thanh Ha, Samuel Yoffe +23
In an electron wakefield accelerator, an intense laser pulse or charged particle beam excites plasma waves. Under proper conditions, electrons from the background plasma are trappe…
Laser-driven neutron source from high temperature D-D fusion reactions
Xuejing Jiao, C. Curry, M. Gauthier +13
We report a laser-driven neutron source with high yield (/J) and high peak flux (/cm/s) derived from high-temperature deuteron-deuteron fusion reactions. The n…
