Over-critical sharp-gradient plasma slab produced by the collision of laser-induced blast-waves in a gas jet; Application to high-energy proton acceleration
J. -R. Marquès, P. Loiseau, J. Bonvalet +10
The generation of thin and high density plasma slabs at high repetition rate is a key issue for ultra-high intensity laser applications. We present a scheme to create such plasma s…
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…
Expansion of a radially symmetric blast shell into a uniformly magnetized plasma
M E Dieckmann, Q Moreno, D Doria +7
The expansion of a thermal pressure-driven radial blast shell into a dilute ambient plasma is examined with two-dimensional PIC simulations. The purpose is to determine if laminar…
General features of experiments on the dynamics of laser-driven electron-positron beams
J. R. Warwick, A. Alejo, T. Dzelzainis +14
The experimental study of the dynamics of neutral electron-positron beams is an emerging area of research, enabled by the recent results on the generation of this exotic state of m…
Expansion of a radial plasma blast shell into an ambient plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Doria, H Ahmed +6
The expansion of a radial blast shell into an ambient plasma is modeled with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The unmagnetized plasma consists of electrons and protons. The for…
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…
