A Deterministic Ionization Algorithm for the OSIRIS Particle-in-Cell Framework
Stephen DiIorio, Ricardo Fonseca, Frank Tsung +2
Ionization is critical in the formation and evolution of plasma dynamics; collisional ionization, in particular, is an often overlooked source of electrons when dealing with laser-…
Biermann-battery driven magnetized collisionless shock precursors in laser produced plasmas
Timothy Johnson, Graeme Sutcliffe, Jacob Pearcy +14
This letter reports the first complete observation of magnetized collisionless shock precursors formed through the compression of Biermann-battery magnetic fields in laser produced…
Three-dimensional particle-in-cell modeling of parametric instabilities near the quarter-critical density in plasmas
H. Wen, A. V. Maximov, R. Yan +3
The nonlinear regime of laser-plasma interaction including both two-plasmon--decay (TPD) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) instabilities has been studied in three-dimensional (…
Optimizing Laser Wakefield Acceleration in the Nonlinear Self-Guided Regime for Fixed Laser Energy
A. Davidson, A. Tableman, P. Yu +5
The scaling laws for laser wakefield acceleration in the nonlinear, self-guided regime [Lu et al. Phys. Rev. Spec. Top. Accel. Beams 10, 061301 (2007)] are examined in detail using…
Self-modulated laser wakefield accelerators as x-ray sources
N. Lemos, J. L. Martins, F. S. Tsung +5
The development of a directional, small-divergence, and short-duration picosecond x-ray probe beam with an energy greater than 50 keV is desirable for high energy density science e…
Estimation of direct laser acceleration in laser wakefield accelerators using particle-in-cell simulations
J. L. Shaw, N. Lemos, K. A. Marsh +3
Many current laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) experiments are carried out in a regime where the laser pulse length is on the order of or longer than the wake wavelength and wher…
