Simulation Design for Velocity-Controlled Spatio-Temporal Drivers in Laser Wakefield Acceleration
Chiara Badiali, Rafael Almeida, Thales Silva +1
Velocity-controlled spatio-temporal (ST) laser drivers offer a route to tailoring laser-plasma interactions by allowing the velocity of the intensity peak to be controlled independ…

Plasma rotation driven by lasers with zero angular momentum
Camilla Willim, Thales Silva, LuÃs Oliveira Silva +1
We present a novel mechanism in which plasma electrons and ions optically acquire angular momentum during local pump depletion of an azimuthally polarized laser, despite the laser…

Plasma Accelerator For Decaying Particles
Chiara Badiali, Rafael Almeida, Bernardo Malaca +3
We introduce a plasma wakefield acceleration scheme capable of boosting initially subrelativistic particles to relativistic velocities within millimeter-scale distances. A sublumin…
