Modeling the interaction of an ultra-high intensity laser pulse with nano-layered flat-top cone targets for ion acceleration
O Budrigă, E d'Humières, L E Ionel +2
We propose new nanotargets as nano-layered flat-top cone targets to be used for future laser-ion acceleration experiments at ELI-NP. We study their behaviour at the interaction wit…
Quasi-perpendicular fast magnetosonic shock with wave precursor in collisionless plasma
Q. Moreno, M. E. Dieckmann, X. Ribeyre +1
A one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation tracks a fast magnetosonic shock over time scales comparable to an inverse ion gyrofrequency. The magnetic pressure is comparabl…
Impact of the electron to ion mass ratio on unstable systems in particle-in-cell simulations
Quentin Moreno, Mark Eric Dieckmann, Xavier Ribeyre +3
The evolution of the Buneman and two-stream instabilities driven by a cold dilute mildly relativistic electron beam is studied as a function of the ion\'\s charge-to-mass ratio. Th…
Synchrotron emission from nanowire-array targets irradiated by ultraintense laser pulses
B. Martinez, E. D'Humières, L. Gremillet
We present a numerical study, based on two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, of the synchrotron emission induced during the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses of inten…
Numerical modeling of laser-driven ion acceleration from near-critical gas targets
Dragos Tatomirescu, Daniel Vizman, Emmanuel d'Humières
In the past two decades, laser-accelerated ion sources and their applications have been intensely researched. Recently, it has been shown through experiments that proton beams with…
Whispering gallery effect in relativistic optics
Y. Abe, K. -F. -F. Law, Ph. Korneev +17
A relativistic laser pulse, confined in a cylindrical target, performs multiple scattering along the target surface. The confinement property of the target results in a very effcie…
