Enhancement of laser-driven ion acceleration in non-periodic nanostructured targets
I. Thiele, J. Ferri, E. Siminos +6
Using particle-in-cell simulations, we demonstrate an improvement of the target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) of protons in non-periodically nanostructured targets with micron-…
Laser Wakefield Acceleration Using Wire Produced Double Density Ramps
M. Burza, A. Gonoskov, K. Svensson +7
A novel approach to implement and control electron injection into the accelerating phase of a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is presented. It utilizes a wire, which is introduc…
The self-injection threshold in self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
Stuart P. D. Mangles, Guillaume Genoud, Michael S. Bloom +6
A laser pulse traveling through a plasma can excite large amplitude plasma waves that can be used to accelerate relativistic electron beams in a very short distance---a technique c…
Hollow microspheres as targets for staged laser-driven proton acceleration
M. Burza, A. Gonoskov, G. Genoud +6
A coated hollow core microsphere is introduced as a novel target in ultra-intense laser-matter interaction experiments. In particular, it facilitates staged laser-driven proton acc…
Observation of Plasma-Undulator Harmonics from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator
G. Genoud, K. Cassou, F. Wojda +11
This paper has been withdrawn by the author. An assumption made in the analysis is not valid under the experimental conditions.
Laser-driven plasma waves in capillary tubes
F. Wojda, K. Cassou, G. Genoud +11
The excitation of plasma waves over a length of up to 8 centimeters is, for the first time, demon- strated using laser guiding of intense laser pulses through hydrogen filled glass…
