Temporal Feedback Control of High-Intensity Laser Pulses to Optimize Ultrafast Heating of Atomic Clusters
M. J. V. Streeter, S. J. D. Dann, J. D. E. Scott +27
We describe how active feedback routines can be applied at limited repetition rate (5 Hz) to optimize high-power TW) laser interactions with clustered gases. Optimization of…
Ultrafast Imaging of Laser Driven Shock Waves using Betatron X-rays from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator
J. C. Wood, D. J. Chapman, K. Poder +21
Betatron radiation from laser wakefield accelerators is an ultrashort pulsed source of hard, synchrotron-like x-ray radiation. It emanates from a centimetre scale plasma accelerato…
General features of experiments on the dynamics of laser-driven electron-positron beams
J. R. Warwick, A. Alejo, T. Dzelzainis +14
The experimental study of the dynamics of neutral electron-positron beams is an emerging area of research, enabled by the recent results on the generation of this exotic state of m…
Laser wakefield acceleration with high-power, few-cycle mid-IR lasers
Daniel Papp, Jonathan C. Wood, Vincent Gruson +6
The study of laser wakefield electron acceleration (LWFA) using mid-IR laser drivers is a promising path for future laser driven electronaccelerators, when compared to traditional…
Quasi-monoenergetic Laser-Plasma Positron Accelerator using Particle-Shower Plasma-Wave interactions
Aakash A. Sahai
An all-optical centimeter-scale laser-plasma positron accelerator is modeled to produce quasi-monoenergetic beams with tunable ultra-relativistic energies. A new principle elucidat…
Hydrodynamic, Optically-Field-Ionized (HOFI) Plasma Channels
Robert Shalloo, Christopher Arran, Laura Corner +5
We present experiments and numerical simulations which demonstrate that fully-ionized, low-density plasma channels could be formed by hydrodynamic expansion of plasma columns produ…
