Generation of ultrahigh field by micro-bubble implosion
M. Murakami, A. Arefiev, M. A. Zosa
Breaking the 100-MeV barrier for proton acceleration will help elucidate fundamental physics and advance practical applications from inertial confinement fusion to tumour therapy.…
Positron generation and acceleration in a self-organized photon collider enabled by an ultra-intense laser pulse
K. Sugimoto, Y. He, N. Iwata +4
We discovered a simple regime where a near-critical plasma irradiated by a laser of experimentally available intensity can self-organize to produce positrons and accelerate them to…
Direct laser acceleration in underdense plasmas with multi-PW lasers: a path to high-charge, GeV-class electron bunches
R. Babjak, L. Willingale, A. Arefiev +1
The direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electrons in underdense plasmas can provide 100s of nC of electrons accelerated to near-GeV energies using currently available lasers. Here w…
Efficient generation of axial magnetic field by multiple laser beams with twisted pointing directions
Yin Shi, Alexey Arefiev, Jue Xuan Hao +1
Strong laser-driven magnetic fields are crucial for high-energy-density physics and laboratory astrophysics research, but generation of axial multi-kT fields remains a challenge. T…
Electron pulse train accelerated by a linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam
Yin Shi, David R Blackman, Ping Zhu +1
A linearly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian (LP-LG) laser beam with a twist index has field structure that fundamentally differs from the field structure of a conventional line…
Electron Acceleration Using Twisted Laser Wavefronts
Yin Shi, David Blackman, Alexey Arefiev
Using plasma mirror injection we demonstrate, both analytically and numerically, that a circularly polarized helical laser pulse can accelerate highly collimated dense bunches of e…
