Progress in relativistic laser-plasma interaction with kilotesla-level applied magnetic fields
K. Weichman, A. P. L. Robinson, M. Murakami +5
We report on progress in the understanding of the effects of kilotesla-level applied magnetic fields on relativistic laser-plasma interactions. Ongoing advances in magnetic-field-g…
Twisted plasma waves driven by twisted ponderomotive force
Yin Shi, D. R. Blackman, R. J. Kingham +1
We present results of twisted plasma waves driven by twisted ponderomotive force. With beating of two, co-propagating, Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) orbital angular momentum (OAM) laser p…
Underdense relativistically thermal plasma produced by magnetically assisted direct laser acceleration
K. Weichman, J. P. Palastro, A. P. L. Robinson +1
We introduce the first approach to volumetrically generate relativistically thermal plasma at gas-jet--accessible density. Using fully kinetic simulations and theory, we demonstrat…
Relativistically transparent magnetic filaments: scaling laws, initial results and prospects for strong-field QED studies
H. G. Rinderknecht, T. Wang, A. Laso Garcia +10
Relativistic transparency enables volumetric laser interaction with overdense plasmas and direct laser acceleration of electrons to relativistic velocities. The dense electron curr…
Generation of ultra-relativistic monoenergetic electron bunches via a synergistic interaction of longitudinal electric and magnetic fields of a twisted laser
Yin Shi, David Blackman, Dan Stutman +1
We use 3D simulations to demonstrate that high-quality ultra-relativistic electron bunches can be generated upon reflection of a twisted laser beam off a plasma mirror. The unique…
Effects of simulation dimensionality on laser-driven electron acceleration and photon emission in hollow micro-channel targets
Tao Wang, David Blackman, Katherine Chin +1
Using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) kinetic simulations, we examine the impact of simulation dimensionality on the laser-driven electron acceleration and the emis…
