Demonstration of the synchrotron-type spectrum of laser-produced Betatron radiation
S. Fourmaux, S. Corde, K. Ta Phuoc +10
Betatron X-ray radiation in laser-plasma accelerators is produced when electrons are accelerated and wiggled in the laser-wakefield cavity. This femtosecond source, producing inten…
All-optical Compton gamma-ray source
K. Ta Phuoc, S. Corde, C. Thaury +6
One of the major goals of research for laser-plasma accelerators is the realization of compact sources of femtosecond X-rays. In particular, using the modest electron energies obta…
Table-top Nonlinear Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy
T. Helk, E. Berger, S. Jamnuch +12
The lack of available table-top extreme ultraviolet (XUV) sources with high enough fluxes and coherence properties have limited the availability of nonlinear XUV and x-ray spectros…
Nonlinear Ionization Dynamics of Hot Dense Plasma Observed in a Laser-Plasma Amplifier
F. Tuitje, P. MartÃnez Gil, T. Helk +9
From fusion dynamics in stars, to terrestrial lightning events, to new prospects of energy production or novel light sources, hot dense plasmas are of importance for an array of ph…
Single shot phase contrast imaging using laser-produced Betatron x-ray beams
S. Fourmaux, S. Corde, K. Ta Phuoc +8
Development of x-ray phase contrast imaging applications with a laboratory scale source have been limited by the long exposure time needed to obtain one image. We demonstrate, usin…
Betatron emission as a diagnostic for injection and acceleration mechanisms in laser-plasma accelerators
S. Corde, C. Thaury, K. Ta Phuoc +9
Betatron x-ray emission in laser-plasma accelerators is a promising compact source that may be an alternative to conventional x-ray sources, based on large scale machines. In addit…
