Characterization and automated optimization of laser-driven proton beams from converging liquid sheet jet targets

G. D. Glenn, F. Treffert, H. Ahmed +31

Compact, stable, and versatile laser-driven ion sources hold great promise for applications ranging from medicine to materials science and fundamental physics. While single-shot so…

High brightness multi-MeV photon source driven by a petawatt-scale laser wakefield accelerator

E. Gerstmayr, B. Kettle, M. J. V. Streeter +16

We present an experimental demonstration of a bright multi-MeV gamma source driven by a petawatt laser. The source generates on average photons above 1 MeV…

Automated control and optimisation of laser driven ion acceleration

B. Loughran, M. J. V. Streeter, H. Ahmed +32

The interaction of relativistically intense lasers with opaque targets represents a highly non-linear, multi-dimensional parameter space. This limits the utility of sequential 1D s…

Narrow bandwidth, low-emittance positron beams from a laser-wakefield accelerator

M. J. V. Streeter, C. Colgan, N. Cavanagh +15

The rapid progress that plasma wakefield accelerators are experiencing is now posing the question as to whether they could be included in the design of the next generation of high-…

Single-shot multi-keV X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort laser wakefield accelerator source

B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr, M. J. V. Streeter +19

Single-shot absorption measurements have been performed using the multi-keV X-rays generated by a laser wakefield accelerator. A 200 TW laser was used to drive a laser wakefield ac…
