Quasi-monoenergetic ion beam acceleration by laser-driven shock and solitary waves in near-critical plasmas

Journal Article Zhang, W. L. ; Qiao, B., E-mail: bqiao@pku.edu.cn ; Huang, T. W. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Ion acceleration in near-critical plasmas driven by intense laser pulses is investigated theoretically and numerically. A theoretical model has been given for clarification of the ion acceleration dynamics in relation to different laser and target parameters. Two distinct regimes have been identified, where ions are accelerated by, respectively, the laser-induced shock wave in the weakly driven regime (comparatively low laser intensity) and the nonlinear solitary wave in the strongly driven regime (comparatively high laser intensity). Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations show that quasi-monoenergetic proton beams with a peak energy of 94.6 MeV and an energy spread 15.8% are obtained by intense laser pulsesmore »« less

Monoenergetic Proton Beams Accelerated by a Radiation Pressure Driven Shock

Journal Article Palmer, C A ; Pogorelsky, I ; Dover, N P ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report on the acceleration of impurity-free quasimononenergetic proton beams from an initially gaseous hydrogen target driven by an intense infrared ({lambda} = 10 {micro}m) laser. The front surface of the target was observed by optical probing to be driven forward by the radiation pressure of the laser. A proton beam of MeV energy was simultaneously recorded with narrow energy spread ({sigma}-4%), low normalized emittance (-8 nm), and negligible background. The scaling of proton energy with the ratio of intensity over density (I/n) confirms that the acceleration is due to the radiation pressure driven shock.

Laser-Driven Shock Acceleration of Ion Beams from Spherical Mass-Limited Targets

Journal Article Henig, A ; Kiefer, D ; Hoerlein, R ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report on experimental studies of ion acceleration from spherical targets of diameter 15 {mu}m irradiated by ultraintense (1x10{sup 20} W/cm{sup 2}) pulses from a 20-TW Ti:sapphire laser system. A highly directed proton beam with plateau-shaped spectrum extending to energies up to 8 MeV is observed in the laser propagation direction. This beam arises from acceleration in a converging shock launched by the laser, which is confirmed by 3-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The temporal evolution of the shock-front curvature shows excellent agreement with a two-dimensional radiation pressure model.

Laser-driven collisionless shock accelerated ion beams (Final Report)

Technical Report Willingale, Louise ; Krushelnick, Karl

The major goal of the project was to study laser-driven collisionless shock ion acceleration.This acceleration mechanism has been demonstrated using CO₂ lasers, but the current state of the art CO₂ lasers cannot access peak normalized vector potentials of much greater thanmore »« less
