Energy Bunching from Sub-Cycle Ionization Injection in Laser Wakefield Acceleration
A. Angella, E. Löfquist, C. Gustafsson +7
We report the first experimental observation of carrier-envelope phase-driven energy bunching in laser wakefield acceleration. Using a few-cycle (~9 fs), multi-terawatt laser pulse…
Plasma density profile reconstruction of a gas cell for Ionization Induced Laser Wakefield Acceleration
F. Filippi, L. T. Dickson, M. Backhouse +15
Laser-driven plasma wakefields can provide hundreds of MeV electron beam in mm-range distances potentially shrinking the dimension of the actual particle accelerators. The plasma d…
Mechanisms to control laser-plasma coupling in laser wakefield electron acceleration
L. T. Dickson, C. I. D. Underwood, F. Filippi +16
Experimental results, supported by precise modelling, demonstrate optimisation of a plasma-based injector with intermediate laser pulse energy ( J), corresponding to a normalis…
European Strategy for Particle Physics -- Accelerator R&D Roadmap
C. Adolphsen, D. Angal-Kalinin, T. Arndt +133
The 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics emphasised the importance of an intensified and well-coordinated programme of accelerator R&D, supporting the design a…
Interaction of ultraintense radially-polarized laser pulses with plasma mirrors
N. Zaïm, D. Guénot, L. Chopineau +5
We present experimental results of vacuum laser acceleration (VLA) of electrons using radially polarized laser pulses interacting with a plasma mirror. Tightly focused radially pol…
Simultaneous laser-driven X-ray and two-photon fluorescence imaging of atomizing sprays
Diego Guenot, Kristoffer Svendsen, Jonas Björklund Svensson +4
In this letter we report for the first time the possibility of visualizing an atomizing spray by simultaneously recording X-ray absorption and 2- photon laser-induced fluorescence…
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…
Proton acceleration by a pair of successive ultraintense femtosecond laser pulses
Julien Ferri, Lovisa Senje, Malay Dalui +12
We investigate the target normal sheath acceleration of protons in thin aluminum targets irradiated at relativistic intensity by two time-separated ultrashort (35 fs) laser pulses.…
Highly efficient angularly resolving x-ray spectrometer optimized for absorption measurements with collimated sources
Michal Šmíd, Isabel Gallardo-Gonzáles, Henrik Ekerfelt +7
Highly collimated betatron radiation from a laser wakefield accelerator is a promising tool for spectroscopic measurements. Therefore there is a requirement to create spectrometers…
Propagation of Ultra-Intense Laser Pulses in Near-critical Plasmas: Depletion Mechanisms and Effects of Radiation Reaction
Erik Wallin, Arkady Gonoskov, Christopher Harvey +2
Although, for current laser pulse energies, the weakly nonlinear regime of LWFA is known to be the optimal for reaching the highest possible electron energies, the capabilities of…
Laser Wakefield Acceleration Using Wire Produced Double Density Ramps
M. Burza, A. Gonoskov, K. Svensson +7
A novel approach to implement and control electron injection into the accelerating phase of a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is presented. It utilizes a wire, which is introduc…
Laser-driven plasma waves in capillary tubes
F. Wojda, K. Cassou, G. Genoud +11
The excitation of plasma waves over a length of up to 8 centimeters is, for the first time, demon- strated using laser guiding of intense laser pulses through hydrogen filled glass…
