Journal ArticleDOI

A. Henig,Sven Steinke,Matthias Schnürer,Thomas Sokollik,Rainer Hörlein,Daniel Kiefer,Daniel Jung,Jörg Schreiber,Bjorn Hegelich,X. Q. Yan,Jürgen Meyer-ter-Vehn,Toshiki Tajima,Peter V. Nickles,W. Sandner,D. Habs +14 more
TL;DR: Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations reveal that those C6+ ions are for the first time dominantly accelerated in a phase-stable way by the laser radiation pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bright laser-driven neutron source based on the relativistic transparency of solids

TL;DR: This work demonstrated an ion acceleration mechanism based on the concept of relativistic transparency and produced an intense beam of high energy deuterons directed into a Be converter to produce a forward peaked neutron flux with a record yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced laser-driven ion acceleration in the relativistic transparency regime.
A. Henig,A. Henig,Daniel Kiefer,Daniel Kiefer,K. Markey,Donald C. Gautier,Kirk Flippo,Samuel A. Letzring,Randall P. Johnson,T. Shimada,Lin Yin,Brian J. Albright,Kevin J. Bowers,Juan C.

Habs,Bjorn Hegelich,Bjorn Hegelich +27 more
TL;DR: An unprecedented maximum energy of 185 MeV (15 MeV/u) for fully ionized carbon atoms is observed at the optimum thickness of 30 nm, leading to strong volumetric heating of the classically overdense electron population in the bulk of the target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of relativistic transparency and optical shuttering in expanding overdense plasmas
Sasi Palaniyappan,B. Manuel Hegelich,H. C. Wu,Daniel Jung,Donald C. Gautier,Lin Yin,Brian J. Albright,Randall P. Johnson,Tsutomu Shimada,Samuel A. Letzring,Dustin Offermann,J. Ren,Chengkun Huang,Rainer Hörlein,Brendan Dromey,Juan C. Fernández,R. C. Shah +16 more
TL;DR: When electrons are accelerated to near light-speeds through an overdense plasma by an intense laser beam, the usually opaque plasma becomes optically transparent as discussed by the authors, and high-speed laser experiments provide unprecedented insight into the dynamics of this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional dynamics of breakout afterburner ion acceleration using high-contrast short-pulse laser and nanoscale targets.
Lin Yin,Brian J. Albright,Kevin J. Bowers,Daniel Jung,Juan C. Fernández,Bjorn Hegelich,Bjorn Hegelich +6 more
TL;DR: First-ever kinetic simulations of the BOA in three dimensions show that the ion beam forms lobes in the direction orthogonal to laser polarization and propagation, which is consistent with recent experiments at the Trident laser facility.
