Real-time Electron Solvation Induced by Bursts of Laser-accelerated Protons in Liquid Water
A. Prasselsperger, M. Coughlan, N. Breslin +11
Understanding the mechanisms of proton energy deposition in matter and subsequent damage formation is fundamental to radiation science. Here we exploit the picosecond (10^-12 s) re…
Charge-state resolved laser acceleration of gold ions to beyond 7 MeV/u
F. H. Lindner, E. G. Fitzpatrick, D. Haffa +6
In the past years, the interest in the laser-driven acceleration of heavy ions in the mass range of A ~ 200 has been increasing due to promising application ideas like the fission-…
Photo-induced pair production and strong field QED on Gemini
CH Keitel, A Di Piazza, GG Paulus +12
The extreme intensities obtainable with lasers such as Gemini allow non-linear QED phenomena to be investigated according to our calculations. Electron-positron pair production fro…
Temporally Resolved Intensity Contouring (TRIC) for characterization of the absolute spatio-temporal intensity distribution of a relativistic, femtosecond laser pulse
Daniel Haffa, Jianhui Bin, Martin Speicher +6
Today's high-power laser systems are capable of reaching photon intensities up to W/cm^2, generating plasmas when interacting with material. The high intensity and ultras…
I-BEAT: New ultrasonic method for single bunch measurement of ion energy distribution
Daniel Haffa, Rong Yang, Jianhui Bin +31
The shape of a wave carries all information about the spatial and temporal structure of its source, given that the medium and its properties are known. Most modern imaging methods…
Laser acceleration of highly energetic carbon ions using a double-layer target composed of slightly underdense plasma and ultrathin foil
W. J. Ma, I Jong Kim, J. Q. Yu +18
We report the experimental generation of highly energetic carbon ions up to 48 MeV per nucleon by shooting double-layer targets composed of well-controlled slightly underdense plas…
