Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation pressure acceleration of thin foils with circularly polarized laser pulses
TL;DR: In this article, a new regime for radiation pressure acceleration of a thin foil by an intense laser beam of above 1020 W cm−2 was described, which allowed the construction of ultra-compact proton and ion accelerators with ultra-short particle bursts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bright spatially coherent synchrotron X-rays from a table-top source
Stefan Kneip,Christopher McGuffey,Joana Luis Martins,Samuel Martins,C. Bellei,Vladimir Chvykov,Franklin Dollar,Ricardo Fonseca,Ricardo Fonseca,C. Huntington,Galina Kalintchenko,Anatoly Maksimchuk,Stuart Mangles,Takeshi Matsuoka,S. R. Nagel,Charlotte Palmer,Jörg Schreiber,K. Ta Phuoc,Alexander Thomas,Victor Yanovsky,Luis O. Silva,Karl Krushelnick,Zulfikar Najmudin +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the intensity of these X-rays can be as bright as that generated by conventional third-generation synchrotrons, in a device a fraction of the size and cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-GeV Acceleration of Electrons by a Nonlinear Plasma Wave Driven by a Self-Guided Laser Pulse
Stefan Kneip,S. R. Nagel,S F Martins,Stuart Mangles,C. Bellei,Oleg Chekhlov,R. J. Clarke,Nicolas Delerue,E. J. Divall,G. Doucas,Klaus Ertel,Frederico Fiuza,Ricardo Fonseca,Peta Foster,S. J. Hawkes,C. J. Hooker,Karl Krushelnick,Warren Mori,Charlotte Palmer,K. Ta Phuoc,P. P. Rajeev,Jörg Schreiber,M. J. V. Streeter,D Urner,Jorge Vieira,Luis O. Silva,Zulfikar Najmudin +26 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional particle in cell simulations show that the intensity within the guided filament is amplified beyond its initial focused value to a normalized vector potential of a0>6, thus driving a highly nonlinear plasma wave.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relativistically correct hole-boring and ion acceleration by circularly polarized laser pulses
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of hole-boring (HB)-type of radiation pressure acceleration of ions by circularly polarized laser pulses interacting with overdense plasmas is considered in the regime where the dimensionless scaling parameter I/ρc3 becomes large.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bright Multi-keV Harmonic Generation from Relativistically Oscillating Plasma Surfaces
Brendan Dromey,Satyabrata Kar,C. Bellei,David Carroll,R. J. Clarke,James Green,Stefan Kneip,K. Markey,S. R. Nagel,Peter Simpson,Louise Willingale,Paul McKenna,D. Neely,Zulfikar Najmudin,Karl Krushelnick,Peter Norreys,Matthew Zepf +16 more
TL;DR: The first evidence of x-ray harmonic radiation extending to 3.3 A, 3.8 keV (order n>3200) from petawatt class laser-solid interactions is presented, exhibiting relativistic limit efficiency scaling at multi-keV energies.
