Laser-Driven Fast Electron Collimation in Targets with Resistivity Boundary

Journal Article Ramakrishna, B ; Kar, S ; Adams, D J ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We demonstrate experimentally that the relativistic electron flow in a dense plasma can be efficiently confined and guided in targets exhibiting a high-resistivity-core-low-resistivity-cladding structure analogous to optical waveguides. The relativistic electron beam is shown to be confined to an area of the order of the core diameter (50 {mu}m), which has the potential to substantially enhance the coupling efficiency of electrons to the compressed fusion fuel in the Fast Ignitor fusion in full-scale fusion experiments.

Magnetic collimation of fast electrons in specially engineered targets irradiated by ultraintense laser pulses

Journal Article Hongbo, Cai ; Center for Applied Physics and Technology, Peking University, Beijing 100871 ; Shaoping, Zhu ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The efficient magnetic collimation of fast electron flow transporting in overdense plasmas is investigated with two-dimensional collisional particle-in-cell numerical simulations. It is found that the specially engineered targets exhibiting either high-resistivity-core-low-resistivity-cladding structure or low-density-core-high-density-cladding structure can collimate fast electrons. Two main mechanisms to generate collimating magnetic fields are found. In high-resistivity-core-low-resistivity-cladding structure targets, the magnetic field at the interfaces is generated by the gradients of the resistivity and fast electron current, while in low-density-core-high-density-cladding structure targets, the magnetic field is generated by the rapid changing of the flow velocity of the background electrons in transverse direction (perpendicular to the flowmore »« less

Magnetic collimation of fast electrons produced by ultraintense laser irradiation by structuring the target composition

Journal Article Robinson, A P. L. ; Sherlock, M ; Central Laser Facility, STFC Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0QX, United Kingdom and SUPA, Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, G4 0NG - Physics of Plasmas

A scheme for collimating fast electrons in a specially engineered solid target is proposed. Unlike previous approaches, the collimation is achieved by generating an azimuthal magnetic field as opposed to a radial electric field. The target is engineered such that it consists of a fiber surrounded by material of a lower resistivity than that of the fiber. The fast electrons are collimated along the fiber. Hybrid Vlasov-Fokker-Planck simulations supported by analytic calculations show that this concept is viable.

Effect of prepulse on fast electron lateral transport at the target surface irradiated by intense femtosecond laser pulses

Journal Article Lin, X X ; Li, Y T ; Liu, B C ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics (Print)

The effects of preplasma on lateral fast electron transport at front target surface, irradiated by ultraintense (>10{sup 18} W/cm{sup 2}) laser pulses, are investigated by K{alpha} imaging technique. A large annular K{alpha} halo with a diameter of {approx}560 {mu}m surrounding a central spot is observed. A specially designed steplike target is used to identify the possible mechanisms. It is believed that the halos are mainly generated by the lateral diffusion of fast electrons due to the electrostatic and magnetic fields in the preplasma. This is illustrated by simulated electron trajectories using a numerical model.
