Phase velocity and particle injection in a self-modulated proton-driven plasma wakefield accelerator.
It is demonstrated that the performance of the self-modulated proton driver plasma wakefield accelerator is strongly affected by the reduced phase velocity of the plasma wave. Using analytical theory and particle-in-cell simulations, we show that the reduction is largest during the linear stage of self-modulation. As the instability nonlinearly saturates, the phase velocity approaches that of t...
متن کاملField-free particle focusing in microfluidic plugs.
Particle concentration is a key unit operation in biochemical assays. Although there are many techniques for particle concentration in continuous-phase microfluidics, relatively few are available in multiphase (plug-based) microfluidics. Existing approaches generally require external electric or magnetic fields together with charged or magnetized particles. This paper reports a passive techniqu...
متن کاملCavitation inception on microparticles: a self-propelled particle accelerator.
Corrugated, hydrophilic particles with diameters between 30 and 150 microm are found to cause cavitation inception at their surfaces when they are exposed to a short, intensive tensile stress wave. The growing cavity accelerates the particle into translatory motion until the tensile stress decreases, and subsequently the particle separates from the cavity. The cavity growth and particle detachm...
متن کاملParticle trapping and self-focusing in temporally asymmetric ratchets with strong field gradients
We study the dynamics of a particle whose velocity is a nonlinear, monotonically increasing function of the applied field. The particle moves in a strong field gradient whose intensity and sign vary periodically. We demonstrate that if the field pulses are temporally asymmetric and biased, we can have situations where the particle always migrates towards a stable zero-velocity point. This speci...
متن کاملStable charged-particle acceleration and focusing in a laser accelerator using spatial harmonics.
Regarding the laser-driven acceleration of charged particles in photonic systems, a central unmet challenge is the achievement of simultaneous transverse and longitudinal stability at nonultrarelativistic energies. At such energies, Earnshaw's theorem [S. Earnshaw, Trans. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 7, 97 (1842)] indicates that a synchronous accelerating wave gives a defocusing effect. We present a ...
