“…Study on the dynamics of fast ions from laser produced plasma has significant interest for inertial confinement fusion 1 , laser-matter interaction 2,3 and different accelerations mechanisms 4,5 . In the literature, various mechanisms of acceleration of ions have been reported, such as target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) 6,7 , backward plasma acceleration (BPA) 8 , radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) 9,10 , double layer formation (DL) 11 depending upon the laser intensity.…”

“…The nonlinear interaction of intense ultrashort laser pulses with a plasma, e.g. in laser wakefield acceleration of electrons, is described by electro-magnetic fields acting on a cold, unmagnetized plasma [1]. The plasma is considered cold, in the sense that both the electron quiver velocity in the pulse, and the electron longitudinal velocity in the wake, are larger than the electron thermal velocity.…”

Analogy between electro-magnetic waves in cold unmagnetized plasma and shallow water inertio-gravity waves in geophysical systems

The fundamental dispersion relation of transverse electro-magnetic waves in a cold collisionless plasma is formally equivalent to the two-dimensional dispersion relation of inertio-gravity waves in a rotating shallow water system, where the Coriolis frequency can be identified with the plasma frequency, and the shallow water gravity wave phase speed plays the role of the speed of light. Here we examine this equivalence and compare between the propagation wave mechanisms in these seemingly unrelated physical systems.

“…Laser-plasma accelerators have shown extremely high field gradients on the order of 100 GV/m. However, it suffers from instability and difficulties in injection [11][12][13][14]. Dielectric-laser accelerators (DLAs) [5,15] powered by femtosecond lasers is another promising option, owing to the high damage threshold in the dielectric material [16], modern ultrashort pulse lasers, and nanofabrication technologies [17].…”
