Gravitational waves generated by laser accelerated relativistic ions

Abstract: The generation of gravitational waves by laser accelerated relativistic ions is investigated. The piston and light sail models of laser plasma acceleration are considered and analytical expressions for space-time metric perturbation are derived. For both models the dependence of gravitational waves amplitude on the laser and plasma parameters as well as gravitational waves spectrum and angular distribution are examined.

“…laser-plasma interactions [1031] or optical media [1032]. Using linearised gravity (sufficient given the tiny signal sizes), one can straightforwardly calculate metric perturbations due to laser-accelerated relativistic ions [1033], standing waves of light [1034], or laser pulses themselves [1035]. The latter were found to give slightly better prospects for detection than waves generated by acceleration of matter through laser-driven ablation of foil targets [1036].…”

“…The scheme was suggested in [7,8] by using the material ablation [25] and the radiation pressure [26]. The piston and light-sail models of ion acceleration have been analyzed in the context of gravitational waves in [27]. We investigate the polarization of gravitational waves and the behavior of test particles in the gravitational field.…”

“…In section 4, we will apply this calculation method to a simple model of a light pulse: the cylinder of light, of constant energy density and moving at the speed of light in vacuum c. In section 5, we will analyze the results obtained by keeping in mind the characteristics of the laser sources that could be used in a laboratory experiment. In section 6, we will summarize our results and compare them with those obtained by Ribeyre and Tikhonchuk [5], Gelfer et al [6] and Kadlecová et al [7] in the case of a massive source. We will also mention the future developments of this paper.…”

“…The first is the explosive acceleration of a quantity of mass, which would generate a deformation of space-time through the quadrupolar acceleration of mass. This deformation can be conceived by the means of a laser striking a target ( [5], [6], [7]) or in a more extreme manner by the explosion of a thermonuclear bomb [8]. The second is the generation of a gravitational deformation by an electromagnetic wave, whose coherence is an advantage in the generation of an important deformation [9].…”
