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…
Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection in the Laboratory
A. Raymond, C. F. Dong, A. McKelvey +21
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process involving an exchange of magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy through changes in the magnetic field topology. In many astr…
Laser acceleration of protons from near critical density targets for application to radiation therapy
S. S. Bulanov, D. W. Litzenberg, A. S. Pirozhkov +4
Laser accelerated protons can be a complimentary source for treatment of oncological diseases to the existing hadron therapy facilities. We demonstrate how the protons, accelerated…
Directed Coulomb Explosion regime of ion acceleration from mass limited targets by linearly and circularly polarized laser pulses
S. S. Bulanov, D. W. Litzenberg, K. Krushelnick +1
We consider the Directed Coulomb Explosion regime of ion acceleration from ultra-thin double layer (high Z/low Z) mass limited targets. In this regime the laser pulse evacuated the…
Electromagnetic pulse reflection at self-generated plasma mirrors: laser pulse shaping and high order harmonic generation
S. S. Bulanov, A. Macchi, A. Maksimchuk +3
A thin layer of overdense plasma is created when an electromagnetic pulse interacts with a rapidly ionizing thin foil. This layer will reflect the incoming pulse, forming a so-call…
