Laser-plasmas in the relativistic-transparency regime: Science and applications
Laser-plasma interactions in the novel regime of relativistically induced transparency (RIT) have been harnessed to generate intense ion beams efficiently with average energies exceeding 10 MeV/nucleon (>100 MeV for protons) at "table-top" scales in experiments at the LANL Trident Laser. By further optimization of the laser and target, the RIT regime has been extended into a self-organized plas...
متن کاملRelativistic laser channeling in plasmas for fast ignition.
We report an experimental observation suggesting plasma channel formation by focusing a relativistic laser pulse into a long-scale-length preformed plasma. The channel direction coincides with the laser axis. Laser light transmittance measurement indicates laser channeling into the high-density plasma with relativistic self-focusing. A three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation reproduces th...
متن کاملAcceleration of Relativistic EM Solitons in Intense Laser -Plasmas
Relativistic EM solitons are localized structures self-trapped by a locally modified plasma refractive index via relativistic electron mass increase and an electron density drop due to the ponderomotive force of an intense laser light [1]. A train of relativistic EM solitons is typically found to form behind the intense laser pulse front. Relativistic electromagnetic (EM) solitons in laser driv...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation in plasmas from relativistic laser-electron scattering
Results are presented on the generation of high harmonics through the scattering of relativistic electrons from high-intensity laser light. The characteristic signatures of this process are found to be the emission of evenorder harmonics, linear dependence on the electron density, significant amount of harmonics with circular polarization, and small spatial extent of the source. The harmonics a...
متن کاملRelativistic Electromagnetic Solitons Produced by Ultrastrong Laser Pulses in Plasmas
Low frequency, relativistic sub-cycle localised (soliton-like) concentrations of the electromagnetic (em) energy are found in two-dimensional (2D) and in three-dimensional (3D) Particle in Cell simulations of the interaction of ultra-short, high-intensity laser pulses with homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasmas. These solitons consist of electron and ion density depressions and intense em field ...
