Controlled Injection in a Laser Plasma Accelerator via an Optically Generated Waveguide Constriction
R. J. Shalloo, A. Ferran Pousa, M. Mewes +6
We propose a novel scheme for controlling the injection of a high-quality electron bunch into a channel-guided laser plasma accelerator. This all-optical technique, constricted wav…
Confined Continuous-Flow Plasma Source For High-Average-Power Laser Plasma Acceleration
B. Farace, R. J. Shalloo, K. Põder +1
Over the last decades, significant advances in high-power laser systems have enabled rapid progress in the development of laser-driven plasma accelerators. Today, the results obtai…
Recovery time of a plasma-wakefield accelerator
R. D'Arcy, J. Chappell, J. Beinortaite +14
The interaction of intense particle bunches with plasma can give rise to plasma wakes capable of sustaining gigavolt-per-metre electric fields, which are orders of magnitude higher…
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…
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…
