Transverse self-modulation of ultra-relativistic lepton beams in the plasma wakefield accelerator
J. Vieira, Y. Fang, W. B. Mori +2
The transverse self-modulation of ultra-relativistic, long lepton bunches in high-density plasmas is explored through full-scale particle-in-cell simulations. We demonstrate that l…
Laser-driven shock acceleration of monoenergetic ion beams
F. Fiuza, A. Stockem, E. Boella +7
We show that monoenergetic ion beams can be accelerated by moderate Mach number collisionless, electrostatic shocks propagating in a long scale-length exponentially decaying plasma…
Three-dimensional simulations of laser-plasma interactions at ultrahigh intensities
F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca, L. O. Silva +3
Three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to investigate the interaction of ultrahigh intensity lasers ( W/cm) with matter at overcritica…
Weibel-instability-mediated collisionless shocks in laboratory with ultraintense lasers
F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca, J. Tonge +2
The formation of non-relativistic collisionless shocks in laboratory with ultrahigh intensity lasers is studied via \emph{ab initio} multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.…
Influence of realistic parameters on state-of-the-art LWFA experiments
J. Vieira, S. F. Martins, F. Fiúza +7
We examine the influence of non-ideal plasma-density and non-Gaussian transverse laser-intensity profiles in the laser wakefield accelerator analytically and numerically. We find t…
