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…
A new energy spectrum reconstruction method for Time-Of-Flight diagnostics of high-energy laser-driven protons
G. Milluzzo, V. Scuderi, A. Alejo +20
The Time-of-Flight (ToF) technique coupled with semiconductor-like detectors, as silicon carbide and diamond, is one of the most promising diagnostic methods for high-energy, high…
Beamed neutron emission driven by laser accelerated light ions
S. Kar, A. Green, H. Ahmed +18
We report on the experimental observation of beam-like neutron emission with peak flux of the order of 10^9 n/sr, from light nuclei reactions in a pitcher-catcher scenario, by empl…
Buffered spectrally-peaked proton beams in the relativistic-transparency regime
N. P. Dover, M. J. V. Streeter, C. A. J. Palmer +23
Spectrally-peaked proton beams ( MeV, MeV) have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( Wcm) with ultrathin CH foi…
Ion acceleration in multispecies targets driven by intense laser radiation pressure
S. Kar, K. F. Kakolee, B. Qiao +15
The acceleration of ions from ultra-thin foils has been investigated using 250 TW, sub-ps laser pulses, focused on target at intensities up to $3\times10^{20} \Wcm2$. The ion spect…
Micron-scale Fast Electron Filamentation and Recirculation determined from Rear Side Optical Emission in High Intensity Laser-Solid Interactions
C. Bellei, S. R. Nagel, S. Kar +24
The transport of relativistic electrons generated in the interaction of petawatt class lasers with solid targets has been studied through measurements of the optical emission from…
Dynamic Control of Laser Produced Proton Beams
S. Kar, K. Markey, P. T. Simpson +16
The emission characteristics of intense laser driven protons are controlled using ultra-strong (of the order of 10^9 V/m) electrostatic fields varying on a few ps timescale. The fi…
