Faraday rotation study of plasma bubbles in GeV wakefield accelerators

Y. Y. Chang, X. Cheng, A. Hannasch +8

We visualize plasma bubbles driven by 0.67 PW laser pulses in plasma of density by imaging Faraday rotation patterns imprinted on linea…

Observation of Plasma Bubble Structures in a GeV Laser-Plasma Accelerator

Yen-Yu Chang, Kathleen Weichman, Xiantao Cheng +8

We measure characteristics of plasma bubbles in GeV-class laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) using Faraday rotation diagnostics. We extend these techniques, previously demonstrated f…

Bright 5 - 85 MeV Compton gamma-ray pulses from GeV laser-plasma accelerator and plasma mirror

J. M. Shaw, A. C. Bernstein, R. Zgadzaj +19

We convert a GeV laser-plasma electron accelerator into a compact femtosecond-pulsed -ray source by inserting a m-thick glass plate cm after the accelerator exit.…

Self-aligning concave relativistic plasma mirror with adjustable focus

Hai-En Tsai, Alexey V. Arefiev, Joseph M. Shaw +4

We report an experimental-computational study of the optical properties of plasma mirrors (PMs) at the incident laser frequency when irradiated directly at relativistic intensity (…

Compact tunable Compton x-ray source from laser-plasma accelerator and plasma mirror

Hai-En Tsai, Xiaoming Wang, Joseph Shaw +8

We present an in-depth experimental-computational study of the parameters necessary to optimize a tunable, quasi-monoenergetic, efficient, low-background Compton backscattering (CB…
