Polarized proton acceleration in ultra-intense laser interaction with near critical density plasmas
X. F. Li, P. Gibbon, A. Hützen +4
The production of polarized proton beams with multi-GeV energies in ultra-intense laser interaction with targets is studied with three-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations. A n…
Introduction to Plasma Physics
Paul Gibbon
The following notes are intended to provide a brief primer in plasma physics, introducing common definitions, basic properties and processes typically found in plasmas. These conce…
Electron self-injection threshold for the tandem-pulse laser wakefield accelerator
Zahra M. Chitgar, Paul Gibbon, Jürgen Böker +2
A controllable injection scheme is key to producing high quality laser-driven electron beams and X-rays. Self-injection is the most straightforward scheme leading to high current a…
Enhanced betatron-radiation energy using two collinear laser pulses
Zahra M. Chitgar, Paul Gibbon, Jürgen Böker +2
A new self-injection scheme is proposed for the laser wakefield accelerator in the nonlinear (cavity) regime using a pair of matched, copropagating laser pulses which yields a pC e…
Collimated Ultra-Bright Gamma-Rays from a PW-Laser-Driven Wire Wiggler
W. -M. Wang, Z. -M. Sheng, P. Gibbon +3
It is shown by three-dimensional QED particle-in-cell simulation that as a laser pulse of 2.5 PW and 20 fs propagates along a sub-wavelength-wide solid wire, directional synchrotro…

Fusion ignition via a magnetically-assisted fast ignition approach
W. -M. Wang, P. Gibbon, Z. -M. Sheng +2
Significant progress has been made towards laser-driven fusion ignition via different schemes, including direct and indirect central ignition, fast ignition, shock ignition, and im…
A New Scheme for High-Intensity Laser-Driven Electron Acceleration in a Plasma 2
S. P. Sadykova, A. Rukhadze, T. G. Samkharadze
We propose a new approach to high-intensity relativistic laser-driven electron acceleration in a plasma. Here, we demonstrate that a plasma wave generated by a stimulated forward-s…
