Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping
S. G. Rykovanov, C. G. R. Geddes, C. B. Schroeder +2
Effects of nonlinearity in Thomson scattering of a high intensity laser pulse from electrons are analyzed. Analytic expressions for laser pulse shaping in amplitude and frequency a…
Plasma wakefield excitation by incoherent laser pulses: a path towards high-average power laser-plasma accelerators
C. Benedetti, C. B. Schroeder, E. Esarey +1
In a laser plasma accelerator (LPA), a short and intense laser pulse propagating in a plasma drives a wakefield (a plasma wave with a relativistic phase velocity) that can sustain…
Electromagnetic cascade in high energy electron, positron, and photon interactions with intense laser pulses
S. S. Bulanov, C. B. Schroeder, E. Esarey +1
The interaction of high energy electrons, positrons, and photons with intense laser pulses is studied in head-on collision geometry. It is shown that electrons and/or positrons und…
Optimized laser pulse profile for efficient radiation pressure acceleration of ions
S. S. Bulanov, C. B. Schroeder, E. Esarey +1
The radiation pressure acceleration regime of laser ion acceleration requires high intensity laser pulses to function efficiently. Moreover the foil should be opaque for incident r…
Relativistic spherical plasma waves
S. S. Bulanov, A. Maksimchuk, C. B. Schroeder +3
Tightly focused laser pulses as they diverge or converge in underdense plasma can generate wake waves, having local structures that are spherical waves. Here we report on theoretic…
