Characterisation of Laser Wakefield Acceleration Efficiency with Octave Spanning Near-IR Spectrum Measurements
M. J. V. Streeter, Y. Ma, B. Kettle +25
We report on experimental measurements of energy transfer efficiencies in a GeV-class laser wakefield accelerator. Both the transfer of energy from the laser to the plasma wakefiel…
Controlled density-downramp injection in a beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator
Alexander Knetsch, Bridget Sheeran, Lewis Boulton +26
This paper describes the utilization of beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration to implement a high-quality plasma cathode via density-downramp injection in a short injector stag…
Meter-Scale, Conditioned Hydrodynamic Optical-Field-Ionized Plasma Channels
A. Picksley, A. Alejo, R. J. Shalloo +9
We demonstrate through experiments and numerical simulations that low-density, low-loss, meter-scale plasma channels can be generated by employing a conditioning laser pulse to ion…
A sub-micron resolution, bunch-by-bunch beam trajectory feedback system and its application to reducing wakefield effects in single-pass beamlines
D. R. Bett, P. N. Burrows, C. Perry +4
A high-precision intra-bunch-train beam orbit feedback correction system has been developed and tested in the ATF2 beamline of the Accelerator Test Facility at the High Energy Acce…
Automation and control of laser wakefield accelerators using Bayesian optimisation
R. J. Shalloo, S. J. D. Dann, J. -N. Gruse +26
Laser wakefield accelerators promise to revolutionise many areas of accelerator science. However, one of the greatest challenges to their widespread adoption is the difficulty in c…
Compton recoil effects in staging of laser wakefield accelerators
M. J. V. Streeter, Z. Najmudin
Laser plasma accelerators capable of generating >10 GeV electron beams may require plasma mirrors to remove undepleted laser energy at the end of each accelerator stage. Near the p…
