Coulomb implosion mechanism of negative ion acceleration in laser plasmas
T. Nakamura, Y. Fukuda, A. Yogo +10
Coulomb implosion mechanism of the negatively charged ion acceleration in laser plasmas is proposed. When a cluster target is irradiated by an intense laser pulse and the Coulomb e…
Laser-driven high-power X- and gamma-ray ultra-short pulse source
Timur Zh. Esirkepov, Sergei V. Bulanov, Alexei G. Zhidkov +2
A novel ultra-bright high-intensity source of X-ray and gamma radiation is suggested. It is based on the double Doppler effect, where a relativistic flying mirror reflects a counte…
Bow wave from ultra-intense electromagnetic pulses in plasmas
T. Zh. Esirkepov, Y. Kato, S. V. Bulanov
We show a new effect of the bow wave excitation by an intense short laser pulse propagating in underdense plasma. Due to spreading of the laser pulse energy in transverse direction…
On the interaction of the electromagnetic radiation with the breaking plasma waves
A. V. Panchenko, T. Zh. Esirkepov, A. S. Pirozhkov +3
An electromagnetic wave (EMW) interacting with the moving singularity of the charged particle flux undergoes the reflection and absorption as well as frequency change due to Dopple…
Opportunities for TeV Laser Acceleration
M. Kando, H. Kiriyama, J. K. Koga +5
A set of ballpark parameters for laser, plasma, and accelerator technologies that define for electron energies reaching as high as TeV are identified. These ballpark parameters are…
Radiotherapy using a laser proton accelerator
Masao Murakami, Yoshio Hishikawa, Satoshi Miyajima +9
Laser acceleration promises innovation in particle beam therapy of cancer where an ultra-compact accelerator system for cancer beam therapy can become affordable to a broad range o…
