A Particle-In-Cell Code Comparison for Ion Acceleration: EPOCH, LSP, and WarpX
Joseph R. Smith, Chris Orban, Nashad Rahman +3
There are now more Particle-in-Cell (PIC) codes than ever before that researchers use to simulate intense laser-plasma interactions. To date, there have been relatively few direct…
Particle-in-Cell modeling of a potential demonstration experiment for double pulse enhanced target normal sheath acceleration
Nashad Rahman, Joseph R. Smith, Gregory Ngirmang +1
Ultra intense lasers are a promising source of energetic ions for various applications. An interesting approach described in Ferri et al. 2019 argues from Particle-in-Cell simulati…
Optimizing Laser-Plasma Interactions for Ion Acceleration using Particle-in-Cell Simulations and Evolutionary Algorithms
Joseph R. Smith, Chris Orban, John T. Morrison +4
The development of ultra-intense laser-based sources of high energy ions is an important goal, with a variety of potential applications. One of the barriers to achieving this goal…
Using Virtual Reality in Electrostatics Instruction: The Impact of Training
Chris D. Porter, Joseph R. H. Smith, Eric M. Stagar +5
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in using Virtual Reality (VR) technology to benefit instruction, especially in physics and related subjects. As VR devices improve a…
Experimental observation and computational modeling of radial Weibel instability in high intensity laser-plasma interactions
Gregory K. Ngirmang, John T. Morrison, Kevin M. George +5
When a relativistic intensity laser interacts with the surface of a solid density target, suprathermal electron currents are subject to Weibel instability filamentation when propag…
Computational Thinking in Introductory Physics
Chris Orban, Richelle Teeling-Smith
Computational Thinking (CT) is still a relatively new term in the lexicon of learning objectives and science standards. There is not yet widespread agreement on the precise definit…
