Abstract: Nanostructured targets have long been explored for controlling laser absorption and particle acceleration, but whether they survive the pre-pulse of a petawatt-class laser at realistic temporal contrast remains an open question. We report an experimental and simulation study of nickel nanowire-coated targets irradiated by the ELI-NP 1-PW laser without a plasma mirror. At the built-in contrast of the nanowires increase the relativistic electron flux and redistribute the emission direction. The ef[...]
Our summary: The study investigates the effects of petawatt laser irradiation on nickel nanowire-coated targets. It finds that the nanowires enhance relativistic electron flux and alter emission direction. Three-dimensional simulations confirm that the azimuthal magnetic field from return currents drives this redistribution.
