Collisionless shock acceleration in the corona of an inertial confinement fusion pellet with possible application to ion fast ignition
E. Boella, R. Bingham, R. A. Cairns +6
Two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations are used to explore collisionless shock acceleration in the corona plasma surrounding the compressed core of an inertial confinement fu…
Essential criteria for efficient pulse amplification via Raman and Brillouin scattering
R. M. G. M. Trines, E. P. Alves, E. Webb +14
Raman and Brillouin amplification are two schemes for amplifying and compressing short laser pulses in plasma. Analytical models have already been derived for both schemes, but the…
Formation of Lunar Swirls
R. A. Bamford, E. P. Alves, F. Cruz +9
In this paper we show a plausible mechanism that could lead to the formation of the Dark Lanes in Lunar Swirls, and the electromagnetic shielding of the lunar surface that results…
Boosting the performance of Brillouin amplification at sub-quarter-critical densities via reduction of parasitic Raman scattering
R. M. G. M. Trines, E. P. Alves, K. A. Humphrey +6
Raman and Brillouin amplification of laser pulses in plasma have been shown to produce picosecond pulses of petawatt power. In previous studies, filamentation of the probe pulse ha…
Laminar shocks in high power laser plasma interactions
R. A. Cairns, R. Bingham, P. Norreys +1
We propose a theory to describe laminar ion sound structures in a collisionless plasma. Reflection of a small fraction of the upstream ions converts the well known ion acoustic sol…
Production of picosecond, kilojoule, petawatt laser pulses via Raman amplification of nanosecond pulses
R. Trines, F. Fiuza, R. Bingham +4
Raman amplification in plasma has been promoted as a means of compressing picosecond optical laser pulses to femtosecond duration to explore the intensity frontier. Here we show fo…
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…
