Electron acceleration by a laser pulse in a plasma.
132 LLE Review, Volume 67 The motion of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field is a well-known paradigm of physics.1,2 Suppose that the field is associated with a laser pulse of finite extent propagating in a vacuum. As the pulse overtakes the particle, the particle gains energy and momentum at the expense of the pulse. At the peak of an intense pulse, the particle has considerable (lon...
متن کاملAnticorrelation between ion acceleration and nonlinear coherent structures from laser-underdense plasma interaction.
In laser-plasma experiments, we observed that ion acceleration from the Coulomb explosion of the plasma channel bored by the laser is prevented when multiple plasma instabilities, such as filamentation and hosing, and nonlinear coherent structures (vortices or postsolitons) appear in the wake of an ultrashort laser pulse. The tailoring of the longitudinal plasma density ramp allows us to contro...
متن کاملPlasma - Pulse - Acceleration Experiments
This paper gives recent results of experiments with a coaxial Plasma-Pulse-Accelerator (PPA). Discharging a capacitor bank into the PPA more than 80 % of the stored energy could be transferred from the electrical circuit into the plasma. Accelerating masses of 10 g to velocities of 1020 m/s overall efficiencies of 22 % were achieved. A 3 g mass could be accelerated in the same PPA to 2000 m/s; ...
متن کاملElectron Acceleration in Relativistic Plasma Waves Generated by a Single Frequency Short-Pulse Laser
Experimental evidence for the acceleration of electrons in a relativistic plasma wave generated by Raman forward scattering (SRS-F) of a single-frequency short pulse laser are presented. A 1.053 pm, 600 fsec, 5 TW laser was focused into a gas jet with a peak intensity of 8x1017 W/cm2. At a plasma density of 2x1019 2 MeV electrons were detected and their appearance was correlated with the anti-S...
متن کاملIon acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction
Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the applicative potential and in the perspective to investigate novel regimesasavailable laser intensitieswill be increasing.Experimentshavedemonstrated, over awide range of laser and target parameters, the generation of multi-MeV proton and ion beams with...
