Direct laser acceleration of electrons by tightly focused laser pulses
Tianhong Wang, Vladimir Khudik, Alexey Arefiev +1
We present an analytical theory that reveals the importance of the longitudinal laser electric field in the resonant acceleration of relativistic electrons by the tightly confined…
Forward sliding-swing acceleration: electron acceleration by high-intensity lasers in strong plasma magnetic fields
Z. Gong, F. Mackenroth, T. Wang +3
A high-intensity laser beam propagating through a dense plasma drives a strong current that robustly sustains a strong quasi-static Mega Tesla-level azimuthal magnetic field. The t…
High-angle Deflection of the Energetic Electrons by a Voluminous Magnetic Structure in Near-normal Intense Laser-plasma Interactions
J. Peebles, A. V. Arefiev, S. Zhang +14
The physics governing electron acceleration by a relativistically intense laser are not confined to the critical density surface, they also pervade the sub-critical plasma in front…
