    Impact of He+N2 concentration on self-modulated laser wakefield acceleration driven by pulses of a few TW
    2023 - MOLDONADO, EDISON P.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.; ZUFFI, ARMANDO V.F.; SANTOS, JHONATHA R. dos; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.
    Laser wakefield electron acceleration with ionization injection has rarely been studied in the low-power, selfmodulated case. We performed simulations of such regimes using a mixture of He and N2 gases and driven by laser pulses with peak powers around 1 TW. Analyses show the generation of electron bunches with an average energy of up to 70 MeV, an energy spread as low as 18%, and an emittance as good as a fraction of a mm mrad. The obtained electron beam parameters lead to several trade-offs as a function of N2 concentration, allowing for many different designs.

    Ionization model to estimate the density and temperature of fs-laser-induced plasmas in air
    2023 - ZUFFI, ARMANDO V.F.; SANTOS, JHONATHA R. dos; SAMAD, RICARDO E.
    We present a simple ionization model to assess the density of plasmas created in air by ionization induced by the electric field of ultrashort laser pulses. It calculates the average ionization induced by the laser taking into account the known threshold intensities for each ionic state, the beam spatial profile and the atmospheric composition, estimating the plasma density. The model density predictions are compared to experimental results obtained by a time-resolved Mach-Zehnder-like interferometer, and are also used as entry parameters to evaluate the plasma temperature by the Saha equation.

    Simulation of self-modulated laser wakefield acceleration using few TW in downramp injection and ionization injection regimes
    2023 - MALDONADO, EDISON P.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.; ZUFFI, ARMANDO V.F.; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.
    Simulations of transitional self-modulated laser wakefield acceleration driven by laser pulses of a few terawatts are discussed, comparing a downramp-based injection regime with an ionization injection regime. We demonstrate that a configuration using an N2 gas target and a laser pulse of ∼75mJ with ∼2TW peak power is a good alternative as a high repetition rate system that produces electrons of many tens of MeV, pC charge, and emittance of the order of 1 mm mrad.

    Development of an Imaging System for an Electron Spectrometer for laser-accelerated electrons
    2023 - BRANDAO, VITORIA M.C.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.
    We present the results of an electron spectrometer with an imaging system to determine the energy spectrum of laser accelerated electrons. The spectrometer is composed by a region with a constant magnetic field that deflects relativistic electrons according to their kinetic energy, and a luminescent screen into which the electrons impinge. The imaging system optimizes the collection of the screen luminescence, which is inside a vacuum chamber, and magnifies it, through a window, into a CCD in atmosphere that records the light pattern, from which the energy spectrum is recovered.

    Femtosecond laser-plasma dynamics study by a time-resolved Mach–Zehnder-like interferometer
    2023 - ZUFFI, ARMANDO V.F.; SANTOS, JHONATHA R. dos; MALDONADO, EDISON P.; VIEIRA JUNIOR, NILSON D.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.
    Side-view density profiles of a laser-induced plasma were measured by a home-built, time-resolved, Mach–Zehnder-like interferometer. Due to the pump-probe femtosecond resolution of the measurements, the plasma dynamics was observed, along with the pump pulse propagation. The effects of impact ionization and recombination were evidenced during the plasma evolution up to hundreds of picoseconds. This measurement system will integrate our laboratory infrastructure as a key tool for diagnosing gas targets and laser-target interaction in laser wakefield acceleration experiments.

    FTIR imaging on glass substrates evaluation of histological skin burn injuries specimens treated by femtosecond laser pulses
    2022 - ZEZELL, DENISE; CASTRO, PEDRO; DEL-VALLE, MATHEUS; CAMILLO-SILVA, CARLOS; SAMAD, RICARDO; DE ROSSI, WAGNER; SANTOS, MOISES
    Burn injuries continue to be one of the leading causes of unintentional death and injury in low- and middle-income countries [1]. Burns are considered an important public health problem, because in addition to physical problems that can lead the patient to death, they cause psychological and social damage. An estimated 180,000 deaths every year are caused by burns [2]. The use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy for studying biological specimens is nowadays a wide and active area of research. The IR microspectroscopy has proved to be an ideal tool for investigating the biochemical composition of biological samples at the microscopic scale, as well as its fast, sensitive, and label-free nature [3]. IR image spectral histopathology has shown great promise as an important diagnostic tool, with the potential to complement current pathological methods, reducing subjectivity in biopsy samples analysis. However, the use of IR transmissive substrates which are both fragile and prohibitively very expensive, hinder the clinical translation. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential of discriminating healing process, in burned skin specimens treated with ultrashort pulses laser 3 days after the burn. This study is considering a previous paper [4], in which it analyzed only micro-ATR-FTIR spectra of a frozen sample point. The specimens were obtained from third degree burn wound. The wounds treatment were performed three days after the burn, and the animals were sacrificed 3 and 14 days post-treatment. Using coverslipped H&E stained tissue on glass from previous histopathological analysis and applying the analytical techniques PCA and K-means on N−H, O−H, and C−H stretching regions occurring at 2500−3800 cm−1 (high wavenumber region), were possible to discriminate burned epidermal and dermal regions from irradiated in same regions on sample. In the figures is shown the average spectrum at (a) day 3 and (b) day 14. , in both there were increase of burned+laser treated bands. The great potential of this study was to analyse coverslipped H&E stained tissue on glass, without compromising the histopathologist practices and contribute for clinical translation.
