AbstractA new configuration for the laser accelerator is proposed, which is inspired by the relativistic photon mirror effect. The material mirror is replaced here by an intense laser pulse, acting as a photon mirror for the incoming charged particles. A sufficient condition for particle reflection at such a photon mirror is established and three types of particle trajectories are described. A snow-plow acceleration regime is identified and quantitatively defined. Production of intense radiation bursts by the charged particle beam during the reflection process is also demonstrated.

AbstractThe evolution of a high-density electron beam in the field of a super-intense laser pulse is considered. The one-dimensional (1D) theory for the description of interaction, taking into account the space-charge forces of the beam, is developed, and exact solutions for the equations of motion of the electrons are found. It was shown that the length of the high-density electron beam increases slowly in time after initial compression of the beam by the laser pulse as opposed to the low-density electron beam case, where the length is constant on average. Also, for the high-density electron beam, the sharp peak frozen into the density distribution can appear in addition to a microbunching, which is characteristic for a low-density electron beam in a super-intense laser field. Characteristic parameters for the evolution of the electron beam are calculated by an example of a step-like envelope of the laser pulse. Comparison with 1D particle-in-cell simulations shows adequacy of the derived theory. The considered issue is very important for a special two-pulse realization of a Thomson scattering scheme, where one high-intensity laser pulse is used for acceleration, compression and microbunching of the electron beam, and the other probe counter-streaming laser pulse is used for scattering with frequency up-shifting and amplitude enhancement.

High Quality

The mechanism of electron acceleration by intense laser pulse interacting with an underdense plasma layer is examined by one-dimensional particle-in-cell (1D-PIC) simulations. The standard dephasing limit and the electron acceleration process are discussed briefly. A new phenomenon, of short high-quality, well-collimated return relativistic electron beam with thermal energy spread, is observed in the direction opposite to laser propagation. The process of the electron beam formation, its characteristics, and the time-history inxandpxspace for test electrons in the beam, are analyzed and exposed clearly. Finally, an estimate for the maximum electron energy appears in a good agreement with simulation results.

Theoretical Simulations

In this research, we studied the interaction between the ultra-intense laser and multiple copper layers covered with multiple hydrogen layers. The research conditions are based on the symmetric and asymmetric structure of multilayer copper and hydrogen. It was found that the acceleration obtained from the first copper and hydrogen layer plasma was higher and occurred earlier than the second copper and hydrogen layer plasma. We investigated the spatial distribution and phase-space distribution of copper electrons, copper ions, hydrogen electrons, and hydrogen protons with different widths of the front hydrogen layer and the front copper layer, respectively. Theoretical simulations show that when the ultra-intense laser was irradiated in multiple copper layers coated with multiple hydrogen layers targets, some plasma phase-space distribution varied clearly in the different thicknesses of the first hydrogen layer or first copper layer, while some plasma were not influenced by the thickness of these two layers.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.
