Optimized laser ion acceleration at the relativistic critical density surface

Ilja Goethel et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanism of generating high-energy ion beams from the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with a plasma. By adjusting the parameters and optimizing the pulse length and plasma density distribution, efficient ion acceleration at the relativistic density surface can be achieved.

Vacuum laser acceleration of super-ponderomotive electrons using relativistic transparency injection

P. K. Singh et al.

Summary: Intense lasers can accelerate electrons to high energy levels over a short distance. Vacuum laser acceleration, with its high acceleration gradient and simplicity, has been difficult to achieve. This study demonstrates the injection and acceleration of free electrons using the relativistic transparency effect, which is crucial for producing secondary particle and light sources.

Optimisation of multi-petawatt laser-driven proton acceleration in the relativistic transparency regime

J. Goodman et al.

Summary: This study investigates laser-driven proton acceleration from ultrathin foils in the relativistic transparency regime using particle-in-cell simulations. The researchers found that the time at which transparency occurs relative to the peak of the laser pulse significantly impacts the proton acceleration efficiency.

Selective Ion Acceleration by Intense Radiation Pressure

A. McIlvenny et al.

Summary: The study reports on the selective acceleration of carbon ions during the interaction of ultrashort, circularly polarized and contrast-enhanced laser pulses with ultrathin carbon foils. Under optimized conditions, energies per nucleon of the bulk carbon ions reached significantly higher values than contaminant protons, indicating different dominant acceleration mechanisms for the two ion species. It is suggested that the preceding laser energy reaching the target before the main pulse arrives plays a key role in a preferential acceleration of the heavier ion species.

Proton beam quality enhancement by spectral phase control of a PW-class laser system

T. Ziegler et al.

Summary: Experimental investigations on proton acceleration from solid foils irradiated with PW-class laser pulses show that positive third order dispersion values applied to short pulses are favorable for proton acceleration, achieving a maximum energy of 70 MeV at 18 J laser energy. The controlled spectral phase modulation of the driver laser by means of an acousto-optic programmable dispersive filter enhances proton acceleration significantly, proving the robustness and applicability of this enhancement effect for different target materials and thicknesses as well as laser energy and temporal intensity contrast settings. Application relevant proton beam quality was reliably achieved over many months of operation with appropriate control of spectral phase and temporal contrast conditions using a state-of-the-art high-repetition rate PW laser system.

Enhancement of pre-pulse and picosecond pedestal contrast of the petawatt J-KAREN-P laser

Hiromitsu Kiriyama et al.

Summary: The temporal contrast of the petawatt J-KAREN-P laser facility was experimentally improved by investigating the generation of pre-pulses and their relationship with post-pulses. Through eliminating post-pulses and enhancing the optical quality of key components, the origins of pre-pulses were identified and most of them were removed effectively, leading to a significant enhancement of the pedestal.
