Enhancement of maximum attainable ion energy in the radiation pressure acceleration regime using a guiding structure.
Radiation pressure acceleration is a highly efficient mechanism of laser-driven ion acceleration, with the laser energy almost totally transferrable to the ions in the relativistic regime. There is a fundamental limit on the maximum attainable ion energy, which is determined by the group velocity of the laser. In the case of tightly focused laser pulses, which are utilized to get the highest in...
متن کاملHeavy ion acceleration in the radiation pressure acceleration and breakout afterburner regimes
We present a theoretical study of heavy ion acceleration from ultrathin (20 nm) gold foil irradiated by high-intensity sub-picosecond lasers. Using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, three laser systems are modeled that cover the range between femtosecond and picosecond pulses. By varying the laser pulse duration we observe a transition from radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) to t...
متن کاملWakefield Acceleration by Radiation Pressure in Relativistic Shock Waves
A particle acceleration mechanism by radiation pressure of precursor waves in a relativistic shock is studied. For a relativistic, perpendicular shock with the upstream bulk Lorentz factor of γ1 ≫ 1, large amplitude electromagnetic (light) waves are known to be excited in the shock front due to the synchrotron maser instability, and those waves can propagate towards upstream as precursor waves....
متن کاملRadiative Acceleration and Transient, Radiation-induced Electric Fields
The radiative acceleration of particles and the electrostatic potential fields that arise in low density plasmas hit by radiation produced by a transient, compact source are investigated. We calculate the dynamical evolution and asymptotic energy of the charged particles accelerated by the photons and the radiation-induced electric double layer in the full relativistic, Klein-Nishina regime. Fo...
متن کاملUltra-high-energy cosmic ray acceleration by relativistic blast waves
We consider the acceleration of charged particles at the ultra-relativistic shocks, with Lorentz factors Γs 1 relative to the upstream medium, arising in relativistic fireball models of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We show that for Fermi-type shock acceleration, particles initially isotropic in the upstream medium can gain a factor of order Γs in energy in the first shock crossing cycle, but that t...
