被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：21.8(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Experimental evidence has accumulated to indicate that wakefield acceleration (WFA) accompanies intense and sometimes coherent emission of radiation such as from betatron radiation. The investigation of this issue has additional impetus nowadays because we are learning (1) there is an additional acceleration process of the ponderomotive acceleration; (2) WFA may become relevant in much higher density regimes; (3) WFA has been proposed as the mechanism for extreme high energy cosmic ray acceleration and 
ray bursts for active galactic nuclei. These require us to closely examine the radiative mechanisms in WFA anew. We report studies of radiation from wakefield (self-injected betatron) and ponderomotive (laser field) in scalings of the frequency and intensity of the driver, as well as the plasma density.

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.

被引用回数：50 パーセンタイル：89.51(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：6 パーセンタイル：45.25(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(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.

被引用回数：45 パーセンタイル：96.33(Instruments & Instrumentation)When a finite contrast petawatt laser pulse irradiates a micron-thick foil, a prepulse creates a preplasma, where an ultrashort relativistically strong portion of the laser pulse acquires higher intensity due to relativistic self-focusing and undergoes fast depletion transferring energy to fast electrons. If the preplasma thickness is optimal, the main pulse can reach the target generating fast ions more efficiently than an ideal, infinite contrast, laser pulse. The optimal conditions for hundreds of MeV ion acceleration are found with accompanying effects important for diagnostics, including high-order harmonics generation.

被引用回数：11 パーセンタイル：60.34(Physics, Nuclear)Nonlinear cascade scattering of intense tightly focused laser pulses by relativistic electrons is studied numerically including the classical radiation damping. The electron energy loss, along with its side scattering by the ponderomotive force makes the scattering in the vicinity of high laser field nearly impossible at high electron energies. The use of a second co-propagating laser pulse as a booster is shown to solve this problem.

被引用回数：9 パーセンタイル：55.36(Physics, Multidisciplinary)From the development of the electron theory by H. A. Lorentz in 1906, many authors have tried to reformulate this model. P. A. M. Dirac derived the relativistic-classical electron model in 1938, which is now called the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac model. But this model has the big difficulty of the run-away solution. Recently, this equation has become important for ultra-intense laser-electron (plasma) interactions. For simulations in this research field, it is desirable to stabilize this model of the radiation reaction. In this paper, we will discuss this ability for radiation reaction with the inclusion of vacuum polarization.

Radiation reaction is one of the remaining big problems in theoretical physics. When an electron has high energy, radiation from this electron might become significant. Since this regime involves laser intensities over 
W/cm, we need to consider it under next generation laser-electron interactions. Moreover, this radiation reaction is studied as an electron model in classical physics. Therefore, the research of ultrahigh intense laser-high energy electron interactions has the potential to take us to the center and essence of physics. However, the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac theory which is the standard model of radiation reaction, has a difficulty of the run-away solution. In this paper, the history of the researches of radiation reaction, our recent studies and the experimental design of this process will be presented.
