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…
Quasi-monoenergetic femtosecond photon sources from Thomson Scattering using laser plasma accelerators and plasma channels
S. G. Rykovanov, C. G. R. Geddes, J. -L. Vay +3
Narrow bandwidth, high energy photon sources can be generated by Thomson scattering of laser light from energetic electrons, and detailed control of the interaction is needed to pr…
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…
Ion Acceleration by the Radiation Pressure of Slow Electromagnetic Wave
S. V. Bulanov, T. Zh. Esirkepov, M. Kando +6
When the ions are accelerated by the radiation pressure of the laser pulse, their velocity can not exceed the laser group velocity, in the case when it is less than the speed of li…
