A laser-plasma interaction experiment for solar burst studies
J. -R. Marquès, C. Briand, F. Amiranoff +7
A new experimental platform based on laser-plasma interaction is proposed to explore the fundamental processes of wave coupling at the origin of interplanetary radio emissions. It…
Extensive study of electron acceleration by relativistic surface plasmons
Giada Cantono, Andrea Sgattoni, Luca Fedeli +5
The excitation of surface plasmons with ultra-intense ( W/cm), high contrast () laser pulses on periodically-modulated solid targets has be…
Relativistic surface-plasmon enhanced harmonic generation from gratings
Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni, Giada Cantono +1
The role of relativistic surface plasmons (SPs) in high order harmonic emission from laser-irradiated grating targets has been investigated by means of particle-in-cell simulations…
Vlasov simulation of laser-driven shock acceleration and ion turbulence
Anna Grassi, Luca Fedeli, Andrea Sgattoni +1
We present a Vlasov, i.e. a kinetic Eulerian simulation study of nonlinear collisionless ion-acoustic shocks and solitons excited by an intense laser interacting with an overdense…
Optimising PICCANTE - an Open Source Particle-in-Cell Code for Advanced Simulations on Tier-0 Systems
Andrea Sgattoni, Luca Fedeli, Stefano Sinigardi +4
We present a detailed strong and weak scaling analysis of PICCANTE, an open source, massively parallel, fully-relativistic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code. PIC codes are widely used in…
Laser-Driven Rayleigh-Taylor Instability: Plasmonics Effects and Three-Dimensional Structures
Andrea Sgattoni, Stefano Sinigardi, Luca Fedeli +2
The acceleration of dense targets driven by the radiation pressure of high-intensity lasers leads to a Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) with rippling of the interaction surface. U…
