One-to-one direct modeling of experiments and astrophysical scenarios: pushing the envelope on kinetic plasma simulations
R. A. Fonseca, S. F. Martins, L. O. Silva +3
There are many astrophysical and laboratory scenarios where kinetic effects play an important role. These range from astrophysical shocks and plasma shell collisions, to high inten…
Beam loading in the nonlinear regime of plasma-based acceleration
M. Tzoufras, W. Lu, F. S. Tsung +6
A theory that describes how to load negative charge into a nonlinear, three-dimensional plasma wakefield is presented. In this regime, a laser or an electron beam blows out the pla…
One-to-one full scale simulations of laser wakefield acceleration using QuickPIC
J. Vieira, F. Fiuza, R. A. Fonseca +9
We use the quasi-static particle-in-cell code QuickPIC to perform full-scale, one-to-one LWFA numerical experiments, with parameters that closely follow current experimental condit…
Three-dimensional structure of the laser wakefield accelerator in the blowout regime
J. F. Vieira, S. F. Martins, F. Fiuza +9
Three-dimensional Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations with the code QuickPIC are used to illustrate the typical accelerating structures associated with the interaction of an intense…
