Electron Dynamics in a Wakefield Accelerator Driven by Laser Pulses Carrying Orbital Angular Momentum

Q. Qian, M. Li, Y. Ma +21

Laser pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) provide a new degree of freedom for controlling plasma-based accelerators. Here, we experimentally demonstrate OAM-driven laser…

Control of Magnetic Reconnection in High Energy Density Plasmas

J. L. Latham, B. K. Russell, C. Dong +6

Magnetic reconnection governs the explosive release of magnetic energy in systems from the solar corona to fusion plasmas, yet controlling it in the laboratory has remained out of…

Limitations of post accelerating ion beams using the snowplow field in a near-critical density target

Davide Terzani, Stepan S. Bulanov, Lieselotte Obst-Huebl +11

Laser-matter interaction at relativistic intensities is central to almost every scientific case for multi-PW laser facilities. In particular, the progress in laser-driven ion accel…

Phase-controlled direct laser acceleration enabled by longitudinal variation of the laser-driven quasi-static plasma magnetic field

R. Bhakta, I-L. Yeh, K. Tangtartharakul +2

Direct laser acceleration (DLA) enables energy transfer from an ultra-high-intensity laser to plasma electrons and underpins many laser-driven particle and radiation-source concept…

Enhanced energy gain through higher-order resonances during direct laser acceleration with superluminal phase velocity

I-Lin Yeh, Kavin Tangtartharakul, Rohan Bhakta +3

Ultra-high intensity laser-plasma interactions can produce ultra-relativistic electrons via direct laser acceleration, assisted by quasi-static plasma magnetic and electric fields.…

Efficient backward x-ray emission in a finite-length plasma irradiated by a laser pulse of ps duration

I-Lin Yeh, Kavin Tangtartharakul, Hongmei Tang +2

Motivated by experiments employing ps-long, kilojoule laser pulses, we examined x-ray emission in a finite-length underdense plasma irradiated by such a pulse using two dimensional…
