Electron slingshot acceleration in relativistic preturbulent shocks explored via emitted photon polarization
Zheng Gong, Xiaofei Shen, Karen Z. Hatsagortsyan +1
Transient electron dynamics near the interface of counterstreaming plasmas at the onset of a relativistic collisionless shock (RCS) is investigated using particle-in-cell simulatio…
Radiative polarization dynamics of relativistic electrons in an intense electromagnetic field
Yuhui Tang, Zheng Gong, Jinqing Yu +2
We propose a self-consistent model which utilizes the polarization vector to theoretically describe the evolution of spin polarization of relativistic electrons in an intense elect…
Retrieving transient magnetic fields of ultrarelativistic laser plasma via ejected electron polarization
Zheng Gong, Karen Z. Hatsagortsyan, Christoph H. Keitel
Interaction of an ultrastrong short laser pulse with non-prepolarized near-critical density plasma is investigated in an ultrarelativistic regime, with an emphasis on the radiative…
Energetic spin-polarized proton beams from two-stage coherent acceleration in laser-driven plasma
Zheng Gong, Yinren Shou, Yuhui Tang +1
We propose a scheme to overcome the great challenge of polarization loss in spin-polarized ion acceleration. When a petawatt laser pulse penetrates through a compound plasma target…
Cascaded Generation of a Sub-10-Attosecond Half-Cycle Pulse
Yinren Shou, Ronghao Hu, Zheng Gong +5
Sub-10-attosecond pulses with half-cycle electric fields provide exceptional options to detect and manipulate electrons in the atomic timescale. However, the availability of such p…
Emission of electromagnetic waves as a stopping mechanism for nonlinear collisionless ionization waves in a high- regime
Haotian Mao, Kathleen Weichman, Zheng Gong +3
A high energy density plasma embedded in a neutral gas is able to launch an outward-propagating nonlinear electrostatic ionization wave that traps energetic electrons. The trapping…
