Generation of quasi-monoenergetic protons from thin multi-ion foils by a combination of laser radiation pressure acceleration and shielded Coulomb repulsion [PDF]
We study theoretically and numerically the acceleration of protons by a combination of laser radiation pressure acceleration and Coulomb repulsion of carbon ions in a multi-ion thin foil made of carbon and hydrogen.

Electron loss rates from the outer radiation belt caused by the filling of the outer plasmasphere: The calm before the storm [PDF]
Measurements from seven spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit are analyzed to determine the decay rate of the number density of the outer electron radiation belt prior to the onset of high-speed-stream-driven geomagnetic storms.

Electron acceleration by laser plasma wedge interaction
An electron acceleration mechanism is identified that develops when a relativistically intense laser irradiates the wedge of an overdense plasma. This induces a diffracted electromagnetic wave that carries a significant longitudinal electric field and ...

Spatio-temporal coupling controlled laser for electron acceleration
A long-standing challenge for on-chip dielectric laser-based accelerators is to bridge the gap between nonrelativistic and relativistic regimes. Here, an all-optical acceleration scheme is proposed that maximises the electron-field interaction length ...

Efficiently accelerated free electrons by metallic laser accelerator
Abstract Strong electron-photon (e-p) interactions occurring in a dielectric laser accelerator provide the potential for development of a compact electron accelerator, and certain critical features of the p-e interactions can be characterized well using ultrafast electron microscopy.
