Gigagauss magnetic fields generated via theta-pinching driven by multiple petawatt-class lasers
Huanyu Song, Zhengming Sheng, Linzheng Wang +4
Extremely high axial magnetic fields above the gigagauss (GG) level are supposed to exist in neutron stars, which may be a one of the critical parameters for their internal structu…
100-kT Magnetic field generation using paisley targets by femtosecond laser-plasma interactions
Myles Allen Zosa, Yan-Jun Gu, Masakatsu Murakami
A target using a paisley pattern generates 100-kT-level magnetic fields. Laser irradiation induces local charge separation on the target, which creates surface currents along the c…
Generation of megatesla magnetic fields by intense-laser-driven microtube implosions
M. Murakami, J. J. Honrubia, K. Weichman +2
A microtube implosion driven by ultraintense laser pulses is used to produce ultrahigh magnetic fields. Due to the laser-produced hot electrons with energies of mega-electron volts…
Cascaded acceleration of proton beams in ultrashort laser-irradiated microtubes
H. C. Wang, S. M. Weng, M. Murakami +4
A cascaded ion acceleration scheme is proposed by use of ultrashort laser-irradiated microtubes. When the electrons of a microtube are blown away by intense laser pulses, strong ch…
Dense blocks of energetic ions driven by multi-petawatt lasers
S. M. Weng, M. Liu, Z. M. Sheng +4
Laser-driven ion accelerators have the advantages of compact size, high density, and short bunch duration over conventional accelerators. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to s…
Collisionless absorption, hot electron generation, and energy scaling in intense laser-target interaction
T. Liseykina, P. Mulser, M. Murakami
Among the various attempts to understand collisionless absorption of intense ultrashort laser pulses a variety of models has been invented to describe the laser beam target interac…
