“…The laser comes to focus at (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0), which is in the solid density of the target for all simulations. [10]. As discussed in the next section, the LSP code is designed with an implicit algorithm that avoids this grid heating problem.…”

We present 3D Particle-in-Cell (PIC) modeling of an ultra-intense laser experiment by the Extreme Light group at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) using the PIC code LSP. This is the first time PIC simulations have been performed in 3D for this experiment which involves an ultra-intense, short-pulse (30 fs) laser interacting with a water jet target at normal incidence. These 3D PIC simulation results are compared to results from 2D(3v) PIC simulations for both 5.4 • 10 17 W cm −2 and 3 • 10 18 W cm −2 intensities. Comparing the 2D(3v) and 3D simulation results, the laser-energyto-ejected-electron-energy conversion efficiencies were comparable, but the angular distribution of ejected electrons show interesting differences with qualitative differences at higher intensity. An analytic plane-wave model is discussed which provides some explanation for the angular distribution and energies of ejected electrons in the 2D(3v) simulations. We also performed a 3D simulation with circularly polarized light and found a significantly higher conversion efficiency and peak electron energy, which is promising for future experiments.

“…The propeller pendulum is a nonlinear system, and its dynamics varies according to the angle θ . In this work, the control objective is to control the angular position when the angle θ is bigger than 90 • at steadystate, precisely, when the open-loop dynamic is unstable [10] .…”
