Optimizing laser coupling, matter heating, and particle acceleration from solids using multiplexed ultraintense lasers
Weipeng Yao, Motoaki Nakatsutsumi, Sébastien Buffechoux +20
Realizing the full potential of ultrahigh-intensity lasers for particle and radiation generation will require multi-beam arrangements due to technology limitations. Here, we invest…
Laser-produced magnetic-Rayleigh-Taylor unstable plasma slabs in a 20 T magnetic field
B. Khiar, G. Revet, A. Ciardi +15
Magnetized laser-produced plasmas are central to many novel laboratory astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion studies, as well as in industrial applications. Here we provide…
Joule-level high effiency energy transfer to sub-picosecond laser pulses by a plasma-based amplifier
J. -R. Marquès, L. Lancia, T. Gangolf +9
Laser plasma amplification of sub-picosecond pulses above the Joule level is demonstrated, a major milestone for this scheme to become a solution for the next-generation of ultra-h…
Acceleration of collimated 45 MeV protons by collisionless shocks driven in low-density, large-scale gradient plasmas by a 10^20 W/cm^2, 1 micron wavelength laser
P. Antici, E. Boella, S. N. Chen +17
A new type of proton acceleration stemming from large-scale gradients, low-density targets, irradiated by an intense near-infrared laser is observed. The produced protons are chara…
Collimated protons accelerated from an overdense gas jet irradiated by a 1 micron wavelength high-intensity short-pulse laser
S. N. Chen, M. Vranic, T. Gangolf +13
We have investigated proton acceleration in the forward direction from a near-critical density hydrogen gas jet target irradiated by a high intensity (10^18 W/cm^2), short-pulse (5…
Mechanisms of plasma disruption and runaway electron losses in tokamaks
S. S. Abdullaev, K. H. Finken, K. Wongrach +5
Based on the analysis of data from the numerous dedicated experiments on plasma disruptions in the TEXTOR tokamak the mechanisms of the formation of runaway electron beams and thei…
