Dense pair plasma generation by two laser pulses colliding in a cylinder channel

An all-optical scheme for high-density pair plasmas generation is proposed by two laser pulses colliding in a cylinder channel. Two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations show that, when the first laser pulse propagates in the cylinder,electrons are extracted out of the cylinder inner wall and accelerated to high energies. These energetic electrons later run into the second counter-propagating laser pulse, radiating a large amount of high-energy gamma photons via the Compton back-scattering process. The emitted gamma photons then collide with the second laser pulse to initiate the Breit–Wheeler process for pairs production. Due to the strong self-generated fields in the cylinder, positrons are confined in the channel to form dense pair plasmas. Totally, the maximum density of pair plasmas can be 4.60 × 10~(27)m~(-3), for lasers with an intensity of 4×10~(22)W·cm~(-2). Both the positron yield and density are tunable by changing the cylinder radius and the laser parameters. The generated dense pair plasmas can further facilitate investigations related to astrophysics and particle physics.     

Simulations on the multi-shell target ignition driven by radiation pulse in Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum

We present the first simulation results of a multi-shell target ignition driven by Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum radiation pulse. The radiation pulse is produced with a special Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum configuration, where the hohlraum is composed of a single metal liner, a low-Z plastic foam, and a high-Z metallic foam. The implosion dynamics of a hohlraum and a multi-shell target are investigated separately by the one-dimensional code MULTI-IFE. When the peak drive current is 50 MA, simulations suggest that an x-ray pulse with nearly constant radiation temperature (～ 310 eV) and a duration about 9 ns can be obtained. A small multi-shell target with a radius of 1.35 mm driven by this radiation pulse is able to achieve volumetric ignition with an energy gain (G) about 6.19, where G is the ratio of the yield to the absorbed radiation. Through this research, we better understand the effects of non-uniformities and hydrodynamics instabilities in Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum.

Radiation effects of electrons on multilayer FePS3 studied with laser plasma accelerator

Space radiation with inherently broadband spectral flux poses a huge danger to astronauts and electronics on aircraft, but it is hard to simulate such feature with conventional radiation sources. Using a tabletop laser-plasma accelerator, we can reproduce exponential energy particle beams as similar as possible to these in space radiation. We used such an electron beam to study the electron radiation effects on the surface structure and performance of two-dimensional material (FePS₃). Energetic electron beam led to bulk sample cleavage and damage between areas of uneven thickness. For the FePS₃ sheet sample, electron radiation transformed it from crystalline state to amorphous state, causing the sample surface to rough. The full widths at the half maximum of characteristic Raman peaks became larger, and the intensities of characteristic Raman peaks became weak or even disappeared dramatically under electron radiation. This trend became more obvious for thinner samples, and this phenomenon was attributed to the cleavage of P-P and P-S bonds, destabilizing the bipyramid structure of [P₂S₆]^4- unit. The results are of great significance for testing the maximum allowable radiation dose for the two-dimensional material, implying that FePS₃ cannot withstand such energetic electron radiation without an essential shield.

薄膜靶整形强激光脉冲的理论分析和数值模拟

超强超短脉冲激光广泛应用于粒子加速以及新型X射线辐射源产生。较长的激光脉冲上升前沿直接影响激光应用效果。等离子体薄膜靶作为新型光学介质开关,可以有效降低超强激光脉冲前沿上升时间,优化激光等离子体相互作用参数。采用一维理论分析和粒子模拟方法研究了等离子体薄膜靶实现超强激光脉冲整形的机制。研究结果表明,薄膜靶通过对激光脉冲的非线性调制,可有效实现脉宽缩短和脉冲陡化;对比单层靶调制结果,选择参数优化的双层靶,可进一步优化脉冲整形效果,获得更短脉宽和更高振幅的激光脉冲;对于峰值振幅高于薄膜靶击穿阈值的超强激光,脉冲上升前沿可得到明显陡化,薄膜靶的击穿是产生这种脉冲整形效果的直接原因。
