Laser acceleration of ion bunches at the front surface of overdense plasmas
Andrea Macchi, Federica Cattani, Tatiana V. Liseykina +1
The acceleration of ions in the interaction of high intensity laser pulses with overdense plasmas is investigated with particle-in-cell simulations. For circular polarization of th…
Two-surface wave decay: improved analytical theory and effects on electron acceleration
A. Macchi, M. Battaglini, F. Cattani +1
Two-surface wave decay (TSWD), i.e. the parametric excitation of electron surface waves, was recently proposed as an absorption mechanism in the interaction of ultrashort, intense…
Multi-filament structures in relativistic self-focusing
F. Cattani, A. Kim, D. Anderson +1
A simple model is derived to prove the multi-filament structure of relativistic self-focusing with ultra-intense lasers. Exact analytical solutions describing the transverse struct…
Electromagnetic energy penetration in the self-induced transparency regime of relativistic laser-plasma interactions
M. Tushentsov, F. Cattani, A. Kim +2
Two scenarios for the penetration of relativistically intense laser radiation into an overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced transparency, are presented. For supercritical de…
A new regime of anomalous penetration of relativistically strong laser radiation into an overdense plasma
A. Kim, F. Cattani, D. Anderson +1
It is shown that penetration of relativistically intense laser light into an overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced transparency, occurs over a finite length only. The penetr…
