High-charge 10 GeV electron acceleration in a 10 cm nanoparticle-assisted hybrid wakefield accelerator
Constantin Aniculaesei, Thanh Ha, Samuel Yoffe +23
In an electron wakefield accelerator, an intense laser pulse or charged particle beam excites plasma waves. Under proper conditions, electrons from the background plasma are trappe…
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…
Nonlinear Inverse Compton Scattering from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator and Plasma Mirror
A. Hannasch, M. LaBerge, R. Zgadzaj +7
We generate inverse Compton scattered X-rays in both linear and nonlinear regimes with a 250 MeV laser wakefield electron accelerator and plasma mirror by retro-reflecting the unus…
Compact Spectral Characterization of 5-500 MeV X-rays from the Texas Petawatt Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator
A. Hannasch, L. Lisi, J. Brooks +11
We reconstruct spectra of secondary x-rays generated from a 500 MeV - 2 GeV laser plasma electron accelerator. A compact (7.5 7.5 15 cm), modular x-ray calorimete…
Compact Spectroscopy of keV to MeV X-rays from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator
A. Hannasch, A. Laso Garcia, M. LaBerge +12
We reconstruct spectra of secondary X-rays from a tunable 250-350 MeV laser wakefield electron accelerator from single-shot X-ray depth-energy measurements in a compact (7.5 $\time…
Observations of Coherent Optical Transition Radiation Interference Fringes Generated by Laser Plasma Accelerator Electron Beamlets
Alex Lumpkin, Maxwell LaBerge, Donald Rule +10
We report initial observations of coherent optical transition radiation interferometry (COTRI) patterns generated by microbunched electrons from laser-driven plasma accelerators (L…
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.…
