Time-dependent energetic proton acceleration and scaling laws in ultra-intense laser pulses interactions with thin foils
A two-phase model, where the plasma expansion is an isothermal one when laser
irradiates and a following adiabatic one after laser ends, has been proposed to
predict the maximum energy of the proton beams induced in the ultra-intense
laser-foil interactions. The hot-electron recirculation in the ultra-intense
laser-solid interactions has been accounted in and described by the
time-dependent hot-electron density continuously in this model. The dilution
effect of electron density as electrons recirculate and spread laterally has
been considered. With our model, the scaling laws of maximum ion energy have
been achieved and the dependence of the scaling coefficients on laser
intensity, pulse duration and target thickness have been obtained. Some
interesting results have been predicted: the adiabatic expansion is an
important process of the ion acceleration and cannot be neglected; the whole
acceleration time is about 10-20 times of laser pulse duration; the larger the
laser intensity, the more sensitive the maximum ion energy to the change of
focus radius, and so on.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PR
Power Efficient User Cooperative Computation to Maximize Completed Tasks in MEC Networks
In this paper, the user cooperative task computation is explored by sharing the computing capability of the user equipments (UEs) so as to enhance the performance of mobile edge computing (MEC) networks. The number of completed tasks is maximized while minimizing the total power consumption of the UEs by jointly optimizing the user task offloading decision, the computational speed for the offloaded task and the transmit power for task offloading. An iterative algorithm based on the linear programming relaxation is proposed to solve the formulated mixed integer non-linear problem. The simulation results show that the proposed user cooperative computation scheme can achieve a higher completed tasks ratio than the noncooperative scheme
