Enhanced laser-driven ion acceleration by superponderomotive electrons generated from near-critical-density plasma
J. H. Bin, M. Yeung, Z. Gong +10
We report on the experimental studies of laser driven ion acceleration from double-layer target where a near-critical density target with a few-micron thickness is coated in front…
Bright X-ray radiation from plasma bubbles in an evolving laser wakefield accelerator
M. S. Bloom, M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip +17
We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright x-rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over which the laser self-focuses and…
Observation of Laser Power Amplification in a Self-Injecting Laser Wakefield Accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip, M. S. Bloom +17
We report on the depletion and power amplification of the driving laser pulse in a strongly-driven laser wakefield accelerator. Simultaneous measurement of the transmitted pulse en…
Experimental signatures of the quantum nature of radiation reaction in the field of an ultra-intense laser
K. Poder, M. Tamburini, G. Sarri +21
The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics. R…
Experimental evidence of radiation reaction in the collision of a high-intensity laser pulse with a laser-wakefield accelerated electron beam
J. M. Cole, K. T. Behm, T. G. Blackburn +21
The dynamics of energetic particles in strong electromagnetic fields can be heavily influenced by the energy loss arising from the emission of radiation during acceleration, known…
Experimental observation of a current-driven instability in a neutral electron-positron beam
J. Warwick, T. Dzelzainis, M. E. Dieckmann +16
We report on the first experimental observation of a current-driven instability developing in a quasi-neutral matter-antimatter beam. Strong magnetic fields ( 1 T) are measur…
