Effects of Laser Polarization on Target Focusing and Acceleration in a Laser-Ion Lens and Accelerator
Roopendra Singh Rajawat, Tianhong Wang, V. Khudik +1
We present the process of ion acceleration using ultra-thin foils irradiated by elliptically polarized, high-intensity laser pulses. Recently, efficient generation of monoenergetic…
Continuum damping of topologically-protected edge modes at the boundary of a magnetized plasma
Roopendra Singh Rajawat, V. Khudik, G. Shvets
Recent extension of the topological ideas to continuous systems with broken time-reversal symmetry, such as magnetized plasmas, provides new insights into the nature of scattering-…
Polarization control of electron injection and acceleration in the plasma by a self steepening laser pulse
Jihoon Kim, Tianhong Wang, Vladimir Khudik +1
We describe an interplay between two injection mechanism of background electrons into an evolving plasma bubble behind an intense laser pulse: one due to the overall bubble expansi…
Positron Acceleration in an Elongated Bubble Regime
Tianhong Wang, Vladimir Khudik, Gennady Shvets
A new concept is proposed for accelerating positrons in a nonlinear plasma wakefield accelerator. By loading the wakefield (back of the plasma bubble) with a short electron bunch,…
Carrier-Envelope Phase Controlled Electron Injection into a Laser-Wakefield Accelerator
J. Kim, T. Wang, V. Khudik +1
Single cycle laser pulse propagating inside a plasma causes controllable asymmetric plasma electron expulsion from laser according to laser carrier envelope phase (CEP) and forms a…
Sub-femtosecond wakefield injector and accelerator based on an undulating plasma bubble controlled by a laser phase
Jihoon Kim, Tianhong Wang, Vladimir Khudik +1
We demonstrate that a long-propagating plasma bubble executing undulatory motion can be produced in the wake of two co-propagating laser pulses: a near-single-cycle injector and a…
