Journal ArticleDOI
Near-100 MeV protons via a laser-driven transparency-enhanced hybrid acceleration scheme
A. Higginson,Ross Gray,M. King,R. J. Dance,S. D. R. Williamson,N. M. H. Butler,Robbie Wilson,R. Capdessus,Chris Armstrong,Chris Armstrong,James Green,Steve Hawkes,Steve Hawkes,P. Martin,Wei Wei,S. R. Mirfayzi,Xiaohui Yuan,Satyabrata Kar,Marco Borghesi,R. J. Clarke,David Neely,David Neely,Paul McKenna +22 more
TL;DR: A hybrid acceleration scheme based on the relativistic induced transparency mechanism using linearly polarised laser interaction with foil targets is demonstrated and its future implication in using high power lasers is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards optical polarization control of laser-driven proton acceleration in foils undergoing relativistic transparency
Bruno Gonzalez-Izquierdo,M. King,Ross Gray,Robbie Wilson,R. J. Dance,H. W. Powell,D. A. MacLellan,John McCreadie,N. M. H. Butler,Steve Hawkes,Steve Hawkes,James Green,C. D. Murphy,Luca C. Stockhausen,David Carroll,Nicola Booth,Graeme Scott,Graeme Scott,Marco Borghesi,David Neely,David Neely,Paul McKenna +21 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated experimentally and numerically via 3D particle-in-cell simulations that the degree of ellipticity of the laser polarization strongly influences the spatial-intensity distribution of the beam of multi-MeV protons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optically controlled dense current structures driven by relativistic plasma aperture-induced diffraction
Bruno Gonzalez-Izquierdo,Ross Gray,M. King,R. J. Dance,Robbie Wilson,John McCreadie,N. M. H. Butler,R. Capdessus,Steve Hawkes,James Green,Marco Borghesi,David Neely,David Neely,Paul McKenna +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, an electron beam is generated with a spatial structure that can be changed by varying the characteristics of the laser pulse, resulting in a relativistic plasma aperture and diffraction.
Journal Article
Proton acceleration enhanced by a plasma jet in expanding foils undergoing relativistic transparency
Ross Gray,M. King,H. W. Powell,D. A. MacLellan,Bruno Gonzalez-Izquierdo,Luca C. Stockhausen,G. Hicks,Nicholas P. Dover,Dean Rusby,David Carroll,H. Padda,Ricardo Torres,Satyabrata Kar,Robert Clarke,David Neely,Zulfikar Najmudin,Marco Borghesi,Paul McKenna +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that a plasma jet is formed at the target rear, supported by a self-generated azimuthal magnetic field, which extends into the expanded layer of sheath-accelerated protons.
