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…
Optimal Parameters for Radiation Reaction Experiments
Christopher Arran, Jason M. Cole, Elias Gerstmayr +3
As new laser facilities are developed with intensities on the scale of 10^22 - 10^24 W cm^-2 , it becomes ever more important to understand the effect of strong field quantum elect…
General features of experiments on the dynamics of laser-driven electron-positron beams
J. R. Warwick, A. Alejo, T. Dzelzainis +14
The experimental study of the dynamics of neutral electron-positron beams is an emerging area of research, enabled by the recent results on the generation of this exotic state of m…
Bright X-ray radiation from plasma bubbles in an evolving laser wakefield accelerator
M. S. Bloom, M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip +17
We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright x-rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over which the laser self-focuses and…
Experimental signatures of the quantum nature of radiation reaction in the field of an ultra-intense laser
K. Poder, M. Tamburini, G. Sarri +21
The description of the dynamics of an electron in an external electromagnetic field of arbitrary intensity is one of the most fundamental outstanding problems in electrodynamics. R…
Experimental observation of a current-driven instability in a neutral electron-positron beam
J. Warwick, T. Dzelzainis, M. E. Dieckmann +16
We report on the first experimental observation of a current-driven instability developing in a quasi-neutral matter-antimatter beam. Strong magnetic fields ( 1 T) are measur…
Laser-driven plasma acceleration in a regime of strong-mismatch between the incident laser envelope and the nonlinear plasma response
A. A. Sahai, K. Poder, J. C. Wood +4
We explore a regime of laser-driven plasma acceleration of electrons where the radial envelope of the laser-pulse incident at the plasma entrance is strongly mismatched to the nonl…
Ultra-high brilliance multi-MeV -ray beam from non-linear Thomson scattering
G. Sarri, D. J. Corvan, W. Schumaker +13
We report on the generation of a narrow divergence ( mrad), multi-MeV ( MeV) and ultra-high brilliance ( photons s m…
Direct observation of the injection dynamics of a laser wakefield accelerator using few-femtosecond shadowgraphy
A. Sävert, S. P. D. Mangles, M. Schnell +13
We present few-femtosecond shadowgraphic snapshots taken during the non-linear evolution of the plasma wave in a laser wakefield accelerator with transverse synchronized few-cycle…
Generation of a neutral, high-density electron-positron plasma in the laboratory
G. Sarri, K. Poder, J. Cole +17
We report on the laser-driven generation of purely neutral, relativistic electron-positron pair plasmas. The overall charge neutrality, high average Lorentz factor ($γ_{e/p} \appro…
