Generation of a neutral, high-density electron-positron plasma in the laboratory
G. Sarri, K. Poder, J. Cole +17
We report on the laser-driven generation of purely neutral, relativistic electron-positron pair plasmas. The overall charge neutrality, high average Lorentz factor ($γ_{e/p} \appro…
Modification of the formation of high-Mach number electrostatic shock-like structures by the ion acoustic instability
Mark E Dieckmann, Gianluca Sarri, Domenico Doria +2
The formation of unmagnetized electrostatic shock-like structures with a high Mach number is examined with one- and two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The structur…
IRIDE White Book, An Interdisciplinary Research Infrastructure based on Dual Electron linacs&lasers
D. Alesini, M. Alessandroni, M. P. Anania +211
This report describes the scientific aims and potentials as well as the preliminary technical design of IRIDE, an innovative tool for multi-disciplinary investigations in a wide fi…
Time-resolved characterization of the formation of a collisionless shock
H Ahmed, ME Dieckmann, L Romagnani +11
We report on the temporally and spatially resolved detection of the precursory stages that lead to the formation of an unmagnetized, supercritical collision-less shock in a laser-d…
Parametric study of non-relativistic electrostatic shocks and the structure of their transition layer
ME Dieckmann, H Ahmed, G Sarri +5
Nonrelativistic electrostatic unmagnetized shocks are frequently observed in laboratory plasmas and they are likely to exist in astrophysical plasmas. Their maximum speed, expresse…
A table-top laser-based source of femtosecond, collimated, ultra-relativistic positron beams
G. Sarri, W. Schumaker, A. Di Piazza +13
The generation of ultra-relativistic positron beams with short duration ( fs), small divergence ( mrad), and high density ($n_{e^+} \simeq 10^{14…
