Sustained Acceleration of Over-dense Plasmas by Colliding Laser Pulses
We review recent PIC simulation results which show that double-sided irradiaton of a thin overdense plasma slab by ultra-intense laser pulses from both sides can lead to sustained comoving acceleration of surface electrons to energies much higher than the conventional ponderomotive limit. The acceleration stops only when the electrons drift transversely out of the laser beam. We show results of...
متن کاملLaser wakefield acceleration by petawatt ultra-short laser pulses
An ultra-short (about 30 fs) petawatt laser pulse focused with a wide focal spot (about 100 μm) in a rarefied plasma (n0 ∼ 10 cm) excites a nonlinear plasma wakefield which can accelerate injected electrons up to the GeV energy without any pulse channelling. In these conditions, propagation of the laser pulse with an over-critical power for relativistic self-focusing is almost the same as in va...

متن کاملSimulations of Electron Injection into Plasma Wake Fields by Colliding Laser Pulses Using Xoopic
First time, self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations of electron injection into a plasma wake field by colliding laser pulses are presented. This method for injecting electrons in a laser wake field has been proposed recently by Esarey and coworkers [1]. An intense pump pulse generates a fast wake field. Forward going and backward going injection pulses collide at some distance behind the p...
متن کاملElectron Trajectories in Intense Laser Pulses
Collisions of short, intense laser pulses with electron beams have recently been proposed for various purposes, such as high-quality, Compton-Backscattered Xray sources (CBX), or coherent pair production positron sources for future ee Linear Colliders. For such intense laser elds, few-photon perturbative treatments do not su ce, and nonperturbative e ects in the elds must be modeled. These e ec...
