Resonant excitation of plasma waves in a plasma channel
Aimee J. Ross, James Chappell, Johannes J. van de Wetering +14
We demonstrate resonant excitation of a plasma wave by a train of short laser pulses guided in a pre-formed plasma channel, for parameters relevant to a plasma-modulated plasma acc…
All-optical GeV electron bunch generation in a laser-plasma accelerator via truncated-channel injection
A. Picksley, J. Chappell, E. Archer +10
We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a drive pulse guided by an all-optical plasma channel. We use th…
Measurement of the decay of laser-driven linear plasma wakefields
J. Jonnerby, A. von Boetticher, J. Holloway +8
We present the first measurements of the temporal decay rate of one-dimensional, linear Langmuir waves excited by an ultra-short laser pulse. Langmuir waves with relative amplitude…
Environmental sustainability in basic research: a perspective from HECAP+
Sustainable HECAP+ Initiative, :, Shankha Banerjee +26
The climate crisis and the degradation of the world's ecosystems require humanity to take immediate action. The international scientific community has a responsibility to limit the…
Effect of electron-beam energy chirp on signatures of radiation reaction in laser-based experiments
J. Magnusson, T. G. Blackburn, E. Gerstmayr +4
Current experiments investigating radiation reaction employ high energy electron beams together with tightly focused laser pulses in order to reach the quantum regime, as expressed…
Energy Depletion and Re-Acceleration of Driver Electrons in a Plasma-Wakefield Accelerator
F. Peña, C. A. Lindstrøm, J. Beinortaitė +13
For plasma-wakefield accelerators to fulfil their potential for cost effectiveness, it is essential that their energy-transfer efficiency be maximized. A key aspect of this efficie…
