Efficient Raman amplification into the PetaWatt regime
R. M. G. M. Trines, F. Fiúza, R. Bingham +4
Raman amplification of a short laser pulse off a long laser beam has been demonstrated successfully for moderate probe intensities ( W/cm) and widths ( m…
Prospects for all-optical ultrafast muon acceleration
F. Peano, J. Vieira, R. Mulas +3
A scheme for fast, compact, and controllable acceleration of heavy particles in vacuum has been recently proposed [F. Peano et al., New J. Phys. 10 033028 (2008)], wherein two coun…
White-light parametric instabilities in plasmas
J. E. Santos, L. O. Silva, R. Bingham
Parametric instabilities driven by partially coherent radiation in plasmas are described by a generalized statistical Wigner-Moyal set of equations, formally equivalent to the full…
Kinetics of the collisionless expansion of spherical nanoplasmas
F. Peano, F. Peinetti, R. Mulas +2
The collisionless expansion of spherical plasmas composed of cold ions and hot electrons is analyzed using a novel kinetic model, with special emphasis on the influence of the elec…
Controlled Shock Shells and Intracluster Fusion Reactions in the Explosion of Large Clusters
F. Peano, R. A. Fonseca, J. L. Martins +1
The ion phase-space dynamics in the Coulomb explosion of very large ( atoms) deuterium clusters can be tailored using two consecutive laser pulses with different…
A global simulation for laser driven MeV electrons in -diameter fast ignition targets
C. Ren, M. Tzoufras, J. Tonge +7
The results from 2.5-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations for the interaction of a picosecond-long ignition laser pulse with a plasma pellet of 50- diameter and 40 critical…
