Demonstration of tunability of HOFI waveguides via start-to-end simulations
S. M. Mewes, G. J. Boyle, A. Ferran Pousa +7
In recent years, hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) channels have emerged as a promising technique to create laser waveguides suitable for guiding tightly-focused laser puls…
Evolution of longitudinal plasma-density profiles in discharge capillaries for plasma wakefield accelerators
J. M. Garland, G. Tauscher, S. Bohlen +7
Precise characterization and tailoring of the spatial and temporal evolution of plasma density within plasma sources is critical for realizing high-quality accelerated beams in pla…
Ponderomotive Injection in Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
Ming Zeng, Alberto Martinez de la Ossa, Jens Osterhoff
A new electron injection scheme is proposed in sub-relativistic plasma wakefield accelerators. A transverse laser ionizes a dopant gas and ponderomotively accelerates the released…
A note on the experiment parameters for the non-resonant streaming instability: competition between left and right circularly polarized modes
Chun-Sung Jao, Sergei Vafin, Ye Chen +10
A non-resonant streaming instability driven by cosmic-ray currents, also called Bell's instability, is proposed as a candidate for providing the required magnetic turbulence of eff…
Plasma Lenses for Relativistic Laser Beams in Laser Wakefield Accelerators
Ming Zeng, Alberto Martinez de la Ossa, Kristjan Poder +1
Focusing petawatt-level laser beams to a variety of spot sizes for different applications is expensive in cost, labor and space. In this paper, we propose a plasma lens to flexibly…
A tunable plasma-based energy dechirper
R. D'Arcy, S. Wesch, A. Aschikhin +23
A tunable plasma-based energy dechirper has been developed at FLASHForward to remove the correlated energy spread of a 681~MeV electron bunch. Through the interaction of the bunch…
Temporal Feedback Control of High-Intensity Laser Pulses to Optimize Ultrafast Heating of Atomic Clusters
M. J. V. Streeter, S. J. D. Dann, J. D. E. Scott +27
We describe how active feedback routines can be applied at limited repetition rate (5 Hz) to optimize high-power TW) laser interactions with clustered gases. Optimization of…
Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept
A. Caldwell, E. Adli, L. Amorim +118
This report describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield ac…
