Quasi-monoenergetic laser-plasma acceleration of electrons to 2 GeV
Laser-plasma accelerators of only a centimetre's length have produced nearly monoenergetic electron bunches with energy as high as 1 GeV. Scaling these compact accelerators to multi-gigaelectronvolt energy would open the prospect of building X-ray free-electron lasers and linear colliders hundreds of times smaller than conventional facilities, but the 1 GeV barrier has so far proven insurmounta...
متن کاملLaser-driven collimated tens-GeV monoenergetic protons from mass-limited target plus preformed channel
Proton acceleration by ultra-intense laser pulse irradiating a target with cross-section smaller than the laser spot size and connected to a parabolic density channel is investigated. The target splits the laser into two parallel propagating parts, which snowplow the backside plasma electrons along their paths, creating two adjacent parallel wakes and an intense return current in the gap betwee...

Title of Document: INTENSE LASER ACCELERATION OF QUASI-MONOENERGETIC PROTONS Tung-Chang Liu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Chuan S Liu, Physics By irradiating an ultra-thin overdense foil with an intense circularly polarized laser beam, the laser radiation pressure can push the foil forward. This scheme, laser radiation pressure acceleration, is one of the most actively stud...
متن کاملMonoenergetic Proton Beams from Laser Driven Shocks
Laser driven ion acceleration (LDIA) has the potential to deliver compact and affordable accelerators for applications in many fields of science and medicine. Specifically, radiotherapy of cancerous tumors requires ion energies in the range of 200-300 MeV/a.m.u. and with energy spreads on the order of 5%, parameters thus far beyond the LDIA experimental results using the most powerful lasers in...
متن کاملComment on "generating high-current monoenergetic proton beams by a circularly polarized laser pulse in the phase-stable acceleration regime".
A new ion acceleration method, namely, phase-stable acceleration, using circularly-polarized laser pulses is proposed. When the initial target density n(0) and thickness D satisfy a(L) approximately (n(0)/n(c))D/lambda(L) and D>l(s) with a(L), lambda(L), l(s), and n(c) the normalized laser amplitude, the laser wavelength in vacuum, the plasma skin depth, and the critical density of the incident...
