Acceleration of collimated 45 MeV protons by collisionless shocks driven in low-density, large-scale gradient plasmas by a 10²⁰ W/cm², 1 µm laser

Journal Article Antici, P. ; Boella, E. ; Chen, S. N. ; ... - Scientific Reports

A new type of proton acceleration stemming from large-scale gradients, low-density targets, irradiated by an intense near-infrared laser is observed. The produced protons are characterized by high-energies (with a broad spectrum), are emitted in a very directional manner, and the process is associated to relaxed laser (no need for high-contrast) and target (no need for ultra-thin or expensive targets) constraints. As such, this process appears quite efective compared to the standard and commonly used Target Normal Sheath Acceleration technique (TNSA), or more exploratory mechanisms like Radiation Pressure Acceleration (RPA). The data are underpinned by 3D numerical simulations which suggest thatmore »« less

Shock formation processes in colliding two collisionless plasmas in a magnetic field

Journal Article Yamauchi, Koji ; Ohsawa, Yukiharu - Physics of Plasmas

Interactions of exploding and surrounding plasmas are analyzed with theory and particle simulations for the case in which the initial velocity v{sub 0} of the exploding plasma is perpendicular to the weak external magnetic field B{sub 0}; because of the fast v{sub 0} and weak B{sub 0}, the gyroradius v{sub 0}/{omega}{sub i} is much longer than shock widths. After the penetration of the exploding ions, the electric field induced by the cross-field plasma motion quickly accelerates the surrounding ions in the direction perpendicular to v{sub 0} and B{sub 0}. Owing to the magnetic force, however, the surrounding ions that weremore »« less

Formation of collisionless shocks in magnetized plasma interaction with kinetic-scale obstacles

Journal Article Cruz, F. ; Alves, E. P. ; Bamford, R. A. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We investigate the formation of collisionless magnetized shocks triggered by the interaction between magnetized plasma flows and miniature-sized (order of plasma kinetic-scales) magnetic obstacles resorting to massively parallel, full particle-in-cell simulations, including the electron kinetics. The critical obstacle size to generate a compressed plasma region ahead of these objects is determined by independently varying the magnitude of the dipolar magnetic moment and the plasma magnetization. Here we find that the effective size of the obstacle depends on the relative orientation between the dipolar and plasma internal magnetic fields, and we show that this may be critical to form a shockmore »« less
