Experimental evidence of production of directional muons from a laser-wakefield accelerator
L. Calvin, E. Gerstmayr, C. Arran +19
We report on experimental evidence of the generation of directional muons from a laser-wakefield accelerator driven by a PW-class laser. The muons were generated following the inte…
Experimental characterisation of a single-shot spectrometer for high-flux, GeV-scale gamma-ray beams
N. Cavanagh, K. Fleck, M. J. V. Streeter +13
We report on the first experimental characterisation of a gamma-ray spectrometer designed to spectrally resolve high-flux photon beams with energies in the GeV range. The spectrome…
Laser-driven electron source suitable for single-shot Gy-scale irradiation of biological cells at dose-rates exceeding Gy/s
C. A. McAnespie, P. Chaudhary, L. Calvin +5
We report on the first systematic characterisation of a tuneable laser-driven electron source capable of delivering Gy-scale doses in a duration of 10 - 20 ps, thus reaching unprec…
Single-pulse Gy-scale irradiation of biological cells at Gy/s average dose-rates from a laser-wakefield accelerator
C. A. McAnespie, P. Chaudhary, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We report on the first experimental characterization of a laser-wakefield accelerator able to deliver, in a single pulse, doses in excess of \unit[1]{Gy} on timescales of the order…
Narrow bandwidth, low-emittance positron beams from a laser-wakefield accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, C. Colgan, N. Cavanagh +15
The rapid progress that plasma wakefield accelerators are experiencing is now posing the question as to whether they could be included in the design of the next generation of high-…
