We describe a laser-driven x-ray plasma source designed for ultrafast x-ray absorption
spectroscopy. The source is comprised of a 1 kHz, 20 W, femtosecond pulsed infrared laser …

A laser wakefield driven by an asymmetric laser pulse with/without chirp is investigated
analytically and through two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. For a laser pulse with …

Interaction of a frequency-chirped laser pulse with single protons and a hydrogen gas target
is studied analytically and by means of particle-in-cell simulations, respectively. The …

Electron acceleration by a frequency-chirped circularly polarized (CP) laser pulse in vacuum
in the presence of azimuthal magnetic field has been studied. A laser pulse propagating …

The paper presents a scheme of vacuum electron acceleration due to tightly focused linearly
polarized (LP) frequency chirped laser in the presence external magnetic field. The focused …

This paper presents a scheme of electron energy enhancement by employing frequency-
chirped lowest order axicon focussed radially polarised (RP) laser pulse in vacuum under …

Acceleration of a rest electron bunch in vacuum by a Laguerre–Gauss (LG) laser pulse is
studied using three-dimensional test-particle simulations. It is found that the ponderomotive …

Results from theoretical investigations are presented which show that protons can be
accelerated from rest to a few hundred MeV by a 1-PW chirped radially polarized laser pulse …

Electron acceleration in vacuum induced by a tightly focused chirped laser pulse has been
studied. For a fixed laser output power, the tightly focused chirped laser pulse can …

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of electron acceleration by a chirped Gaussian
laser pulse are studied regarding the synchronization between the axial force phase and …
