A Study of Radiation Reaction Effects in Superintense Laser-Plasma Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiation Reaction is expected to play an important role in superintense laserplasma interaction where it can both enhance the bulk plasma motion and cool the electrons. In the present work we investigate the Radiation Reaction effects in the Radiation Pressure Acceleration regime by particleincell simulations both for linear and circular polarization. In particular we check the Radiation Reaction ability to reduce the electron heating which is responsible of the broadening of both the electron and ion spectrum.

A New Regime of Anomalous Penetration of Relativistically Strong Laser Radiation into an Overdense Plasma
It is shown that penetration of relativistically intense laser light into an overdense plasma, accessible by self-induced transparency, occurs over a finite length only. The penetration length depends crucially on the overdense plasma parameter and increases with increasing incident intensity after exceeding the threshold for self-induced transparency. Exact analytical solutions describing the ...

متن کاملStudy of non-linear interaction of circular laser pulse propagating through hot magnetized plasma in the presence of a planar magnetostatic wiggler
In this paper, the self-focusing property of an intense circularly polarized laser pulse in hot magnetized plasma is investigated theoretically. First, an envelope equation governing the spot-size of the laser beam for both left- and right-hand polarizations has been derived in the presence of a planar wiggler. Furthermore, non-linear dispersion relation of laser pulse is obtained by using Maxw...
