Laser-plasma ion beam booster based on hollow-channel magnetic vortex acceleration

M Garten, SS Bulanov, S Hakimi, L Obst-Huebl… - Physical Review …, 2024 - APS
Laser-driven ion acceleration provides ultrashort, high-charge, low-emittance beams, which
are desirable for a wide range of high-impact applications. Yet after decades of research, a …

Energy-chirp compensation of laser-driven ion beams enabled by structured targets

Z Gong, SS Bulanov, T Toncian, A Arefiev - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
We show using three-dimensional (3D) simulations that the challenge of generating dense
monoenergetic laser-driven ion beams with low angular divergence can be overcome by …

Using high power lasers as a tool for secondary sources and laboratory astrophysics

K Lezhnin - 2022 - search.proquest.com
Over the past few decades, laser technology has developed dramatically, achieving
ultrahigh peak laser powers. Currently operating laser facilities (eg, NIF, OMEGAEP, and …
