Vacuum laser acceleration of super-ponderomotive electrons using relativistic transparency injection
P. K. Singh, F. -Y. Li, C. -K. Huang +11
Intense lasers can accelerate electrons to very high energy over a short distance. Such compact accelerators have several potential applications including fast ignition, high energ…
High-yield and high-angular-flux neutron generation from deuterons accelerated by laser-driven collisionless shock
C. -K. Huang, D. P. Broughton, S. Palaniyappan +5
A bright collimated neutron source is an essential tool for global security missions and fundamental scientific research. In this paper, we study a compact high-yield and high-angu…
Particle resonances and trapping of direct laser acceleration in a laser-plasma channel
F. -Y. Li, P. K. Singh, S. Palaniyappan +1
As one of the leading acceleration mechanisms in laser-driven underdense plasmas, direct laser acceleration (DLA) is capable of producing high-energy-density electron beams in a pl…
Measurement of BAS-TR imaging plate response to energetic aluminum ions
J. Won, J. Song, S. Palaniyappan +4
We measured the response of BAS-TR imaging plate (IP) to energetic aluminum ions in the 0 to 222 MeV energy range, and compared it with predictions from a Monte Carlo simulation co…
Experimental observation of -delayed neutrons from Li as a way to study short-pulse laser-driven deuteron production
Andrea Favalli, Nevzat Guler, Daniela Henzlova +9
A short-pulse laser-driven deuteron beam is generated in the relativistic transparency regime and aimed at a beryllium converter to generate neutrons at the TRIDENT laser facility.…
Efficient quasi-monoenergetic ion beams up to 18 MeV/nucleon via self-generated plasma fields in relativistic laser plasmas
Sasi Palaniyappan, Chengkun Huang, Donald C. Gautier +5
Table-top laser-plasma ion accelerators seldom achieve narrow energy spreads, and never without serious compromises in efficiency, particle yield, etc. Using massive computer simul…
Scaling of laser-driven ion energies in the relativistic transparent regime
D. Jung, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +12
Laser-driven ions have compelling properties and their potential use for medical applications has attracted a huge global interest. One of the major challenges of these application…
160 MeV laser-accelerated protons from CH2 nano-targets for proton cancer therapy
B. M. Hegelich, D. Jung, B. J. Albright +11
Proton (and ion) cancer therapy has proven to be an extremely effective even supe-rior method of treatment for some tumors 1-4. A major problem, however, lies in the cost of the pa…
Single-Shot 60 dB Dynamic Range Laser Contrast Measurement Using Self-Referencing Spectral Interferometry
Sasi Palaniyappan, R. P. Johnson, T. Shimada +5
High dynamic range contrast measurement of laser pulses is typically obtained by cross-correlating the laser pulse with a self-generated reference laser pulse directly in the tempo…
