Spin polarized proton beam generation from gas-jet targets by intense laser pulses
Luling Jin, Meng Wen, Xiaomei Zhang +4
A method of generating spin polarized proton beams from a gas jet by using a multi-petawatt laser is put forward. With currently available techniques of producing pre-polarized mon…
Electron acceleration in direct laser-solid interactions far beyond the ponderomotive limit
Meng Wen, Yousef I. Salamin, Christoph H. Keitel
In laser-solid interactions, electrons may be generated and subsequently accelerated to energies of the order-of-magnitude of the ponderomotive limit, with the underlying process d…
Polarized laser-wakefield-accelerated kiloampere electron beams
Meng Wen, Matteo Tamburini, Christoph H. Keitel
High-flux polarized particle beams are of critical importance for the investigation of spin-dependent processes, such as in searches of physics beyond the Standard Model, as well a…
Spin-one-half particles in strong electromagnetic fields: spin effects and radiation reaction
Meng Wen, Christoph H. Keitel, Heiko Bauke
Various classical models of electrons including their spin degrees of freedom are commonly applied to describe the electron dynamics in strong electromagnetic fields. We demonstrat…
Identifying the Stern-Gerlach force of classical electron dynamics
Meng Wen, Heiko Bauke, Christoph H. Keitel
Different classical theories are commonly applied in various branches of physics to describe the relativistic dynamics of electrons by coupled equations for the orbital motion and…
Dynamical spin effects in ultra-relativistic laser pulses
Meng Wen, Heiko Bauke, Christoph H. Keitel
The dynamics of single laser-driven electrons and many particle systems with spin are investigated on the basis of a classical theory. We demonstrate that the spin forces can alter…
