Stable radiation field positron acceleration in a micro-tube
Meiyu Si, Yongsheng Huang, Manqi Ruan +5
Nowadays, there is a desperate need for an ultra-acceleration-gradient method for antimatter particles, which holds great significance in exploring the origin of matter, CP violati…
Simulations of stable compact proton beam acceleration from a two-ion-species ultrathin foil
T. P. Yu, A. Pukhov, G. Shvets +4
We report stable laser-driven proton beam acceleration from ultrathin foils consisting of two ion species: heavier carbon ions and lighter protons. Multi-dimensional particle-in-ce…
Stabilized Radiation Pressure Dominated Ion Acceleration from Thin-foil Targets
Min Chen, Naveen Kumar, Alexander Pukhov
We study transverse and longitudinal electron heating effects on the target stability and the ion spectra in the radiation pressure dominated regime of ion acceleration by means of…
Stable laser-driven proton beam acceleration from a two-specie ultra-thin foil
T. P. Yu, A. Pukhov, G. Shvets +1
By using multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation, we present a new regime of stable proton beam acceleration which takes place when a two-specie shaped foil is illuminated by…
High quality GeV proton beams from a density-modulated foil target
T. P. Yu, M. Chen, A. Pukhov
We study proton acceleration from a foil target with a transversely varying density using multi-dimensional Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations. In order to reduce electron heating…
Target shape effects on monoenergetic GeV proton acceleration
Min Chen, Tong-Pu Yu, Alexander Pukhov +1
When a circularly polarized laser pulse interacts with a foil target, there are three stages: pre-hole-boring, hole-boring and the light sail acceleration. We study the electron an…
Enhanced collimated GeV monoenergetic ion acceleration from a shaped foil target irradiated by a circularly polarized laser pulse
M. Chen, A. Pukhov, T. P. Yu +1
Using multi-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations we study ion acceleration from a foil irradiated by a circularly polarized laser pulse at 1022W/cm^2 intensity. When the…
