Rays via Single-Shot Laser-Electron Interaction
摘要： Generation of circularly polarized (CP) and linearly polarized (LP) γ rays via the single-shot interaction of an ultraintense laser pulse with a spin-polarized counterpropagating ultrarelativistic electron beam has been investigated in nonlinear Compton scattering in the quantum radiation-dominated regime. For the process simulation, a Monte Carlo method is developed which employs the electron-spin-resolved probabilities for polarized photon emissions. We show efficient ways for the transfer of the electron polarization to the high-energy photon polarization. In particular, multi-GeV CP (LP) γ rays with polarization of up to about 95% can be generated by a longitudinally (transversely) spin-polarized electron beam, with a photon flux meeting the requirements of recent proposals for the vacuum birefringence measurement in ultrastrong laser fields. Such high-energy, high-brilliance, high-polarization γ rays are also beneficial for other applications in high-energy physics, and laboratory astrophysics.

Modeling radiative-shocks created by lasera??cluster interactions
摘要： Radiative-shocks induced by laser–cluster interactions are modeled using radiation-hydrodynamic simulations. A good agreement—in both shock velocity and density pro?les—is obtained between experiment and simulations, indicating that non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) radiative effects are important in the experimental regime examined, particularly at early times ((cid:2)30 ns) due to the elevated temperatures ((cid:3)35 eV). The enhanced NLTE radiative emission causes the shock to be reduced in amplitude, increased in width, and reduced in propagation velocity, while the amplitude of the radiative precursor is increased. As the density and temperature conditions are relatively modest, this potentially has important implications for the scalings that are used in laboratory–astrophysics to transform between laboratory and astrophysical scales, which do not hold for non-LTE systems.

Experimental Observation of Ion–Ion Acoustic Instability Associated with Collisionless Shocks in Laser-produced Plasmas
摘要： We report experimental evidence of ion–ion acoustic instability in laser-produced astrophysically relevant plasma. Irradiation of a copper foil with a short (2 ps) intense (1017 W cm?2) laser pulse generates dense hot plasma, whose expansion into the rare?ed preplasma generates the electrostatic collisionless shock. A shock-re?ected ion beam penetrates through the shock upstream excites the ion–ion acoustic instability. The shock oscillation electric ?eld and the instability ?lamentary modulation are monitored by proton radiography. Particle-in-cell and particle-tracing simulations reproduce the experimental observation.
