Collisionless shock acceleration in the corona of an inertial confinement fusion pellet with possible application to ion fast ignition
E. Boella, R. Bingham, R. A. Cairns +6
Two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations are used to explore collisionless shock acceleration in the corona plasma surrounding the compressed core of an inertial confinement fu…
Suitability and robustness of triangular nanostructured targets for proton acceleration
Manuel Blanco, M. T. Flores-Arias, Marija Vranic
Ion acceleration in the MeV range can be routinely achieved with table-top laser technology. One of the current challenges is to improve the energy coupling from the laser to the p…
Extremely intense laser-based electron acceleration in a plasma channel
Marija Vranic, Ricardo A. Fonseca, Luis O. Silva
Laser pulses of extreme intensities () are about to become available in the laboratory. The prepulse of such a laser can induce a plasma expansion that…
Are we ready to transfer optical light to gamma-rays?
Marija Vranic, Thomas Grismayer, Sebastian Meuren +2
Scattering relativistic electrons with optical lasers can result in a significant frequency upshift for the photons, potentially producing -rays. This is what linear Compton sca…
Multi-GeV electron-positron beam generation from laser-electron scattering
Marija Vranic, Ondrej Klimo, Georg Korn +1
The new generation of laser facilities is expected to deliver short (10 fs - 100 fs) laser pulses with 10 - 100 PW of peak power. This opens an opportunity to study matter at extre…
Collimated protons accelerated from an overdense gas jet irradiated by a 1 micron wavelength high-intensity short-pulse laser
S. N. Chen, M. Vranic, T. Gangolf +13
We have investigated proton acceleration in the forward direction from a near-critical density hydrogen gas jet target irradiated by a high intensity (10^18 W/cm^2), short-pulse (5…
