Similarity for ultra-relativistic laser plasmas and the optimal acceleration regime
S. Gordienko, A. Pukhov
A similarity theory is developed for ultra-relativistic laser-plasmas. It is shown that the most fundamental S-similarity is valid for both under- and overdense plasmas. Optimal sc…
The Bubble regime of laser-plasma acceleration: monoenergetic electrons and the scalability
A. Pukhov, S. Gordienko, S. Kiselev +1
The Bubble regime of electron acceleration in ultra-relativistic laser plasma is considered. It has been shown that the bubble can produce ultra-short dense bunches of electrons wi…
Coherent Harmonic Focusing and the Light Extreme
S. Gordienko, A. Pukhov, O. Shorokhov +1
We demonstrate analytically and numerically that focusing of high harmonics produced by the reflection of a few femtosecond laser pulse from a concave plasma surface opens a new wa…
Table-top synchrotron
S. Kiselev, A. Pukhov, I. Kostyukov
Using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations we show that a strongly nonlinear plasma wave excited by an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse works as a compact high-brightness…
Relativistic Doppler effect: universal spectra and zeptosecond pulses
S. Gordienko, A. Pukhov, O. Shorokhov +1
We report on a numerical observation of the train of zeptosecond pulses produced by reflection of a relativistically intense femtosecond laser pulse from the oscillating boundary o…
