Enhancement on Laser Intensity and Proton Acceleration Using Micro-tube Plasma Lens Targets
Joseph Snyder, Liangliang Ji, Kramer Akli
A hollow cylindrical micron-scale structure is proposed to enhance and manipulate the laser plasma interaction. It is shown through 3-D particle-in-cell simulations that the incide…
Microengineering laser plasma interactions at relativistic intensities
S. Jiang, L. L. Ji, H. Audesirk +8
We report on the first successful proof-of-principle experiment to manipulate laser-matter interactions on the microscale using highly ordered Si microwire arrays. The interaction…
Liquid crystal films as on-demand, variable thickness (50-5000 nm) targets for intense lasers
P. L. Poole, C. D. Andereck, D. W. Schumacher +6
We have developed a new type of target for intense laser-matter experiments that offers significant advantages over those currently in use. The targets consist of a liquid crystal…
Enhancing Bremsstrahlung Production From Ultraintense Laser-Solid Interactions With Front Surface Structures
S. Jiang, A. G. Krygier, D. W. Schumacher +2
We report the results of a combined study of particle-in-cell and Monte Carlo modeling that investigates the production of Bremsstrahlung radiation produced when an ultraintense la…
The Effects of Front-Surface Target Structures on Properties of Relativistic Laser-Plasma Electrons
S. Jiang, A. G. Krygier, D. W. Schumacher +2
We report the results of a study of the role of prescribed geometrical structures on the front of a target in determining the energy and spatial distribution of relativistic laser-…
