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…
Self-organizing GeV, nano-Coulomb, collimated proton beam from laser foil interaction at 7 * 10^21 W/cm2
X. Q. Yan, H. C. Wu, Z. M. Sheng +2
We report on a self-organizing, quasi-stable regime of laser proton acceleration, producing 1 GeV nano-Coulomb proton bunches from laser foil interaction at an intensity of 7*10^21…
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…
