Unlimited Energy Gain in the Laser-Driven Radiation Pressure Dominant Acceleration of Ions
S. V. Bulanov, E. Yu. Echkina, T. Zh. Esirkepov +4
The energy of the ions accelerated by an intense electromagnetic wave in the radiation pressure dominated regime can be greatly enhanced due to a transverse expansion of a thin tar…
Boosted high harmonics pulse from a double-sided relativistic mirror
T. Zh. Esirkepov, S. V. Bulanov, M. Kando +2
An ultra-bright high-intensity X- and gamma-radiation source is proposed. A high-density thin plasma slab, accelerating in the radiation pressure dominant regime by a co-propagatin…
Novel path towards compact laser ion accelerators for hadron therapy: Tenfold energy increase in laser-driven multi-MeV ion generation using a gas target mixed with submicron clusters
Y. Fukuda, A. Ya. Faenov, M. Tampo +20
We demonstrate generation of 10-20 MeV/u ions with a compact 4 TW laser using a gas target mixed with submicron clusters, corresponding to tenfold increase in the ion energies comp…
Relativistic Laser-Matter Interaction and Relativistic Laboratory Astrophysics
S. V. Bulanov, T. Zh. Esirkepov, D. Habs +2
The paper is devoted to the prospects of using the laser radiation interaction with plasmas in the laboratory relativistic astrophysics context. We discuss the dimensionless parame…
Control of energy distribution of the proton beam with an oblique incidence of the laser pulse
Toshimasa Morita, Sergei V. Bulanov, Timur Zh. Esirkepov +2
We investigate proton acceleration by a laser pulse obliquely incident on a double layer target via 3D PIC simulations. It is found that the proton beam energy spread changes by th…
