Temporal resolution criterion for correctly simulating relativistic electron motion in a high-intensity laser field
Alexey V. Arefiev, Ginevra E. Cochran, Douglass W. Schumacher +2
Particle-in-cell codes are now standard tools for studying ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions. Motivated by direct laser acceleration of electrons in sub-critical plasmas, we…
New mechanisms for generating super-ponderomotive electrons in laser-irradiated targets
A. V. Arefiev, A. P. L. Robinson, V. N. Khudik +2
It is shown that static longitudinal and transverse electric fields can significantly alter electron acceleration by a long laser beam in a sub-critical plasma, enabling generation…
Fast electron propagation in Ti foils irradiated with sub-picosecond laser pulses at Wcm
M Makita, G Nersisyan, K McKeever +10
We have studied the propagation of fast electrons through laser irradiated Ti foils by monitoring the emission of hard X-rays and K-α radiation from bare foils and foils backed by…
Using k-alpha emission to determine fast electron spectra using the Hybrid code ZEPHYROS
Thomas White, Alex Robinson, Gianluca Gregori
A high intensity laser-solid interaction invariably drives a non-thermal fast electron current through the target, however characterizing these fast electron distributions can prov…
Rapid Embedded Wire Heating via Resistive Guiding of Laser-Generated Fast Electrons as a Hydrodynamic Driver
A. P. L. Robinson, H. Schmitz, J. Pasley
Resistively guiding laser-generated fast electron beams in targets consisting of a resistive wire embedded in lower material should allow one to rapidly heat the wire to over 1…
