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…
Effect of Nozzle Curvature on Supersonic Gas Jets Used in Laser-Plasma Acceleration
Ocean Zhou, Hai-En Tsai, Tobias M. Ostermayr +5
Supersonic gas jets produced by converging-diverging (C-D) nozzles are commonly used as targets for laser-plasma acceleration (LPA) experiments. A major point of interest for these…
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…
