Stabilized radiation pressure dominated ion acceleration from surface modulated thin-foil targets

Journal Article Min, Chen ; LOASIS program, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720 ; Kumar, Naveen ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the radiation pressure dominated regime of ion acceleration is studied by means of multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations. It is shown that the growth of the long wavelength mode of the instability can be reduced by transverse diffusion of ions coming from the initial subwavelength modulations on the target front surface. Reduction in the growth of the instability keeps the target structure uniform along the transverse direction and opaque to the laser pulse for a longer duration, improving both the final peak energy and the spectral quality of the ions.

Enhanced laser-radiation-pressure-driven proton acceleration by moving focusing electric-fields in a foil-in-cone target

Journal Article Zou, D. B. ; Zhuo, H. B., E-mail: hongbin.zhuo@gmail.com ; Yu, T. P. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A foil-in-cone target is proposed to enhance stable laser-radiation-pressure-driven proton acceleration by avoiding the beam degradation in whole stage of acceleration. Two and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate that the guiding cone can substantially improve the spectral and spatial properties of the ion beam and lead to better preservation of the beam quality. This can be attributed to the focusing effect of the radial sheath electric fields formed on the inner walls of the cone, which co-move with the accelerated foil and effectively suppress the undesirable transverse explosion of the foil. It is shown that, by using a transversely Gaussian lasermore »« less

K{sub α} x-ray imaging of laser-irradiated, limited-mass zirconium foils

Journal Article Storm, M. ; Orban, C. ; Jiang, S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

X-ray fluorescence measurements to determine the effect of target heating on imaging efficiency, at a photon energy of 15.7 keV corresponding to the K{sub α} line of zirconium, have been carried out using limited-mass foils irradiated by the Texas Petawatt Laser. Zirconium foils that ranged in volume from 3000 × 3000 × 21 μm{sup 3} to 150 × 150 × 6 μm{sup 3} were irradiated with 100 J, 8 ps-long pulses and a mean intensity of 4 × 10{sup 19} W/cm{sup 2}. The K{sub α} emission was measured simultaneously using a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite crystal spectrometer and a curved quartz imaging crystal. The measured ratio of the integrated imagemore »« less

Kα x-ray imaging of laser-irradiated, limited-mass zirconium foils

Journal Article Storm, M. ; Eichman, B. ; Orban, C. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

X-ray fluorescence measurements to determine the effect of target heating on imaging efficiency, at a photon energy of 15.7 keV corresponding to the Kα line of zirconium, have been carried out using limited-mass foils irradiated by the Texas Petawatt Laser. Zirconium foils that ranged in volume from 3000 × 3000 × 21 μm3 to 150 × 150 × 6 μm3 were irradiated with 100 J, 8 ps-long pulses and a mean intensity of 4 × 1019 W/cm2. The Kα emission was measured simultaneously using a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite crystal spectrometer and a curved quartz imaging crystal.

Enhanced laser ion acceleration from mass-limited foils

Journal Article Kluge, T ; Kraft, S D ; Schramm, U ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

This paper reports on simulations of solid mass-limited targets (MLT) via electrodynamic two-dimensional, three velocity component particle-in-cell simulations. The interaction with long (300 fs) high intensity (10{sup 20} W/cm{sup 2}) laser pulses with targets of diameter down to 1 {mu}m is described in detail with respect to electron dynamics and proton and ion acceleration. Depending on the foil diameter, different effects consecutively arise. Electrons laterally recirculate within the target, smoothening the target rear accelerating sheath and increasing the hot electron density and temperature. Our results suggest that the most significant ion energy enhancement should be expected for MLT with diametermore »« less
