Order of magnitude increase in laser-target coupling at near-relativistic intensities using compound parabolic concentrators
Gerald Jackson Williams, Anthony J. Link, Mark William Sherlock +20
Achieving a high conversion efficiency into relativistic electrons is central to short-pulse laser application and fundamentally relies on creating interaction regions with intensi…
Magnetic Field Transport in Propagating Thermonuclear Burn
B. Appelbe, A. L. Velikovich, M. Sherlock +4
High energy gain in inertial fusion schemes requires the propagation of a thermonuclear burn wave from hot to cold fuel. We consider the problem of burn propagation when a magnetic…
Electron acceleration in laser turbulence
Mark Sherlock
We demonstrate that electrons can be efficiently accelerated to high energy in spatially non-uniform, intense laser fields. Laser non-uniformities occur when a perfect plane wave r…
