Injection and Acceleration of Electrons by Radially Polarized Laser Pulses in a Plasma Channel
P. Hadjisolomou, P. Valenta, R. Shaisultanov +4
We consider injection and subsequent acceleration of electrons in narrow plasma channels irradiated by linearly and radially polarized ultraintense laser pulses. Using three-dimens…
High-Energy Photon Generation from Self-Organized Plasma Cavities in Field-Enhanced Laser-Preplasma Interactions
Prokopis Hadjisolomou, Rashid Shaisultanon, Tae Moon Jeong +2
The interaction of an ultraintense Nd:glass laser pulse with a near-critical plasma self-organizes into a highly efficient -ray source. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simul…
Bright polarised x-ray flashes from dense plasmas
Q. Qian, C. P. Ridgers, S. V. Bulanov +5
Creating a plasma dominated by strong-field QED (SFQED) effects is a major goal of new multi-PW laser facilities. This is motivated by the fact that the fundamental dynamics of suc…
Visualization of high-intensity laser-matter interactions in virtual reality and web browser
Martin Matys, James P. Thistlewood, Mariana Kecová +7
We present the Virtual Beamline (VBL) application, an interactive web-based platform for visualizing high-intensity laser-matter interactions using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulatio…
Collimated -flash emission along the target surface irradiated by a laser at non-grazing incidence
M. Matys, P. Hadjisolomou, R. Shaisultanov +7
The interaction of a high-power laser with a solid target provides ways to produce beams of -photons. For normal incidence of the laser on the target the beams usually appear i…
Demonstration of The Brightest Nano-size Gamma Source
A. S. Pirozhkov, A. Sagisaka, K. Ogura +46
Gamma rays selectively interact with nuclei, induce and mediate nuclear reactions and elementary particle interactions, and exceed x-rays in penetrating power and thus are indispen…
