Radiation Pressure Acceleration: the factors limiting maximum attainable ion energy
S. S. Bulanov, E. Esarey, C. B. Schroeder +5
Radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) is a highly efficient mechanism of laser-driven ion acceleration, with with near complete transfer of the laser energy to the ions in the rela…
Enhancing proton acceleration by using composite targets
S. S. Bulanov, E. Esarey, C. B. Schroeder +5
Efficient laser ion acceleration requires high laser intensities, which can only be obtained by tightly focusing laser radiation. In the radiation pressure acceleration regime, whe…
Ultra-low emittance beam generation using two-color ionization injection in a CO2 laser-driven plasma accelerator
C. B. Schroeder, C. Benedetti, S. S. Bulanov +6
Ultra-low emittance (tens of nm) beams can be generated in a plasma accelerator using ionization injection of electrons into a wakefield. An all-optical method of beam generation u…
Helium-3 and Helium-4 acceleration by high power laser pulses for hadron therapy
S. S. Bulanov, E. Esarey, C. B. Schroeder +5
The laser driven acceleration of ions is considered a promising candidate for an ion source for hadron therapy of oncological diseases. Though proton and carbon ion sources are con…
Laser-heater assisted plasma channel formation in capillary discharge waveguides
N. A. Bobrova, P. V. Sasorov, C. Benedetti +5
A method of creating plasma channels with controllable depth and transverse profile for the guiding of short, high power laser pulses for efficient electron acceleration is propose…
