In this talk I will discuss our participation in the ImPACT project, which has as one of its goals, the development an ultra-compact electron accelerator using lasers ( 1 GeV, 10 m) and generation of an X-ray beam from the accelerated electrons. Within this I will discuss our investigation into electron beam monitoring and control. Since laser accelerated electrons will be used for X-ray beam generation combined with an undulator, I will present investigation into the possibilities of the improvement of electron beam emittance through cooling.

We present a brief review of physical processes in a plasma irradiated by relativistically intense electromagnetic waves generated by high power lasers. The interaction of high power laser pulses with matter has attracted a lot of attention in regards with the novel methods of charged particle acceleration, with the development of high brightness sources of hard electromagnetic radiation and with research of the properties of matter under the conditions determined by the quantum electrodynamics phenomena.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:47.54(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The dependence of the energy of ions accelerated during the interaction of the laser pulse obliquely incident on the thin foil target on the laser polarization is studied experimentally and theoretically. We found that the ion energy being maximal for the p-polarization drastically decreases when the pulse becomes s-polarized. The experimentally found dependencies of the ion energy are explained by invoking anomalous electron heating, which results in high electrostatic potential formation at the target surface.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:43.06(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The magnetic field generated by the laser pulses annihilates in a current sheet formed between the pulses. Magnetic field energy is converted to an inductive longitudinal electric field, which efficiently accelerates the electrons of the current sheet. This new regime of collision less relativistic magnetic field annihilation with a timescale of tens of femtoseconds can be extended to near-critical and overdense plasma with the ultra-high intensity femtosecond laser pulses.

被引用回数:53 パーセンタイル:89.48(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In an electromagnetic standing wave formed by two super-intense colliding laser pulses, radiation reaction totally modifies the electron motion. The quantum corrections to the electron motion and the radiation reaction force can be independently small or large, depending on the laser intensity and wavelength, thus dividing the parameter space into 4 domains. The electron motion evolves to limit cycles and strange attractors when radiation reaction dominates. This creates a new framework for high energy physics experiments on the interaction of energetic charged particle beams and colliding super-intense laser pulses.

被引用回数:7 パーセンタイル:48.28(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Laser wakefield acceleration has the possibility to generate an ultrashort electron beam of the order of femtoseconds or less. Generation of ultrashort pulses is a key to exploring the dynamical behavior of matter on ever-shorter timescales. We found that the profile of the electron beam was manipulated by rotating the laser polarization. The electron beam is in the laser field, which oscillates the electron beam. From electron oscillations in the image of the electron energy distribution, the electron beam pulse width is estimated to be 1.7 fs (rms). The peak current is 10 kA.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)High-order harmonic generation of high intensity ultra-short laser pulses by means of laser produced plasmas are discussed. Since with plasma targets there is no limitation on applicable laser intensity the generated harmonics can be substantially intense. Recent results of experiments and computer simulations on the high-order harmonic generation are briefly reviewed. Main attention is paid to the analysis of basic mechanisms of high-order harmonic generation from overdense and underdense plasma targets irradiated by relativistically intense laser pulses.

We provide a description of experiments performed with the J-KAREN and Astra Gemini lasers where we discovered a new regime of relativistic high-order harmonic generation by multi-terawatt femtosecond lasers in gas targets. The results were explained using particle-in-cell simulations and catastrophe theory. Our work paves the way towards a bright coherent X-ray source based on compact lasers and accessible, repetitive, and debris-free gas jet targets. Such a source will be crucial for fundamental research and numerous applications requiring pumping, probing, imaging of microscopic objects and for attosecond science.
