Electromagnetic pulse reflection at self-generated plasma mirrors: laser pulse shaping and high order harmonic generation
S. S. Bulanov, A. Macchi, A. Maksimchuk +3
A thin layer of overdense plasma is created when an electromagnetic pulse interacts with a rapidly ionizing thin foil. This layer will reflect the incoming pulse, forming a so-call…
Single-Cycle High-Intensity Electromagnetic Pulse Generation in the Interaction of a Plasma Wakefield with Nonlinear Coherent Structures
S. S. Bulanov, T. Zh. Esirkepov, F. F. Kamenets +1
The interaction of coherent nonlinear structures (such as sub-cycle solitons, electron vortices and wake Langmuir waves) with a strong wake wave in a collisionless plasma can be ex…
Charged State of a Spherical Plasma in Vacuum
F. Cornolti, F. Ceccherini, S. Betti +1
The stationary state of a spherically symmetric plasma configuration is investigated in the limit of immobile ions and weak collisions. Configurations with small radii are positive…
Expansion of a finite size plasma in vacuum
S. Betti, F. Ceccherini, F. Cornolti +1
The expansion dynamics of a finite size plasma is examined from an analytical perspective. Results regarding the charge distribution as well as the electrostatic potential are pres…
Three Dimensional Relativistic Electromagnetic Sub-cycle Solitons
Timur Esirkepov, Katsunobu Nishihara, Sergei V. Bulanov +1
Three dimensional (3D) relativistic electromagnetic sub-cycle solitons were observed in 3D Particle-in-Cell simulations of an intense short laser pulse propagation in an underdense…
Generation of High Quality Laser Accelerated Ion Beams
T. Zh. Esirkepov, S. V. Bulanov, K. Nishihara +9
In order to achieve a high quality, i. e. monoergetic, intense ion beam, we propose the use of a double layer target. The first layer, at the target front, consists of high-Z atoms…
