Single-Shot High-Energy Muon and Particle Radiography with a Multi-GeV Laser-Wakefield-Accelerator-Driven Source
Kaixin Zhu, G. Jackson Williams, Roberto Versaci +29
We report the first demonstration of single-shot particle radiography using a 1-10 GeV laser-wakefield-generated beam of muons, pions, and neutrons. The test objects were imaged ~1…
RPC Telescope Tests for Muon Detection at Laser-Plasma Accelerators
Sumaira Ikram, Maxime Lagrange, Donya Ahmadi +10
We report on a feasibility study conducted at the ELBA facility at ELI Beamlines in 2025 to investigate the possible production of muons from high-energy electron beams generated b…
Plasma waveguides for high-intensity laser pulses
J. E. Shrock, B. Miao, E. Rockafellow +1
Fundamental to many applications of laser pulses in science and technology is an extended interaction length with matter that significantly exceeds the distance over which the puls…
High-repetition-rate, all-reflective optical guiding and electron acceleration in helium using an off-axis axicon
Jiří Šišma, Michal Nevrkla, Filip Vitha +17
We present recent results on high-power guiding and laser wakefield acceleration in the ELectron Beam Accelerator (ELBA) beamline at ELI Beamlines, using the L3-HAPLS laser system…
Excitation of Giant Surface Waves During Laser Wake Field Acceleration
Travis Garrett, Christopher Pieronek, E. Rockafellow +7
We have detected the presence of very high intensity surface waves that are excited during plasma waveguided laser wakefield acceleration. Wakefield acceleration can be enchanced b…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
Longitudinal shaping of plasma waveguides using diffractive axicons for laser wakefield acceleration
N. Tripathi, B. Miao, A. Sloss +4
New techniques for the optical generation of plasma waveguides -- optical fibres for ultra-intense light pulses -- have become vital to the advancement of multi-GeV laser wakefield…
Meter-scale supersonic gas jets for multi-GeV laser-plasma accelerators
B. Miao, J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow +2
Pushing the high energy frontier of laser wakefield electron acceleration (LWFA) to 10 GeV and beyond requires extending the propagation of relativistic intensity pulses to ~1 m in…
Measurement of directional muon beams generated at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator
Davide Terzani, Stanimir Kisyov, Stephen Greenberg +20
We present the detection of directional muon beams produced using a PW laser at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The muon source is a multi-GeV electron beam generated in…
Phase front retrieval and correction of Bessel beams
B. Miao, L. Feder, J. E. Shrock +1
Bessel beams generated with non-ideal axicons are affected by aberrations. We introduce a method to retrieve the complex amplitude of a Bessel beam from intensity measurements alon…
Multi-GeV electron bunches from an all-optical laser wakefield accelerator
B. Miao, J. E. Shrock, L. Feder +8
We present the first demonstration of multi-GeV laser wakefield acceleration in a fully optically formed plasma waveguide, with an acceleration gradient as high as 25 GeV/m. The gu…
Self-waveguiding of relativistic laser pulses in neutral gas channel
L. Feder, B. Miao, J. E. Shrock +2
We demonstrate that an ultrashort high intensity laser pulse can propagate for hundreds of Rayleigh ranges in a prepared neutral hydrogen channel by generating its own plasma waveg…
Optical guiding in meter-scale plasma waveguides
B. Miao, L. Feder, J. E. Shrock +2
We demonstrate a new highly tunable technique for generating meter-scale low density plasma waveguides. Such guides can enable electron acceleration to tens of GeV in a single stag…
Magnetothermodynamics: Measurements of the thermodynamic properties in a relaxed magnetohydrodynamic plasma
