Extremely Dense Gamma-Ray Pulses in Electron Beam-Multifoil Collisions

Archana Sampath, Xavier Davoine, Sébastien Corde +26

Sources of high-energy photons have important applications in almost all areas of research. However, the photon flux and intensity of existing sources is strongly limited for photo…

Plasma-photonic spatiotemporal synchronization of relativistic electron and laser beams

Paul Scherkl, Alexander Knetsch, Thomas Heinemann +23

Modern particle accelerators and their applications increasingly rely on precisely coordinated interactions of intense charged particle and laser beams. Femtosecond-scale synchroni…

Multi-GeV Electron Combs from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

Chaojie Zhang, Douglas Storey, Alexander Knetsch +16

Plasma accelerators now produce GeV-class electron beams with brightness and stability sufficient to drive free-electron lasers. Beyond this, they possess a unique yet largely unex…

Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions

Aimé Matheron, Doug Storey, Max F. Gilljohann +25

Extreme beams of charged particles and photons, reaching ultrahigh densities or producing intense gamma-ray bursts, are central to accelerator physics, laboratory astrophysics, and…

Effect of Synchrotron Radiation on Staged Plasma Wakefield Accelerators

Livio Verra, Alexander Knetsch, Doug Storey

In a staged, beam-driven, plasma wakefield accelerator, electrons are accelerated in a sequence of plasma stages, each powered by a driver electron bunch. Between each stage, a mag…
