Laser-driven Ion and Neutron Sources from Medium Repetition Ultrashort PW Laser
X. Jiao, C. Jeon, G. Tiwari +9
We report the first experiment investigating ion acceleration and neutron generation irradiating thin plastic targets (CH2) and deuterated plastic targets (CD2) of thickness rangin…
Laser-Wakefield-Driven Photonuclear and Laser-Driven DD Fusion Neutron Sources for Fast Neutron Capture: A Start-to-End Simulation Study
Ou Z. Labun, D. D. Phan, L. Labun +6
Laser-driven neutron sources offer ultrashort pulse durations and extreme peak fluxes inaccessible to conventional facilities, enabling novel time-of-flight(TOF) spectroscopy and n…
Scaling Interferometry to the Multi-Petawatt Regime
Mara L. Klebonas, Hernan J. Quevedo, Calin I. Hojbota +6
Pre-plasma conditions strongly influence laser-plasma interactions in the multi-petawatt (MPW) regime, increasing the need for reliable early-time plasma evolution diagnostics. Amo…
Luminosity for laser-electron colliders
B. Manuel Hegelich, Calin I. Hojbota, Lance A. Labun +2
High intensity laser facilities are expanding their scope from laser and particle-acceleration test beds to user facilities and nuclear physics experiments. A basic goal is to conf…
High-energy betatron source driven by a 4-PW laser with applications to non-destructive imaging
Calin Ioan Hojbota, Mohammad Mirzaie, Do Yeon Kim +10
Petawatt-class lasers can produce multi-GeV electron beams through laser wakefield electron acceleration. As a by-product, the accelerated electron beams can generate broad synchro…
Accurate single-shot measurement technique for the spectral distribution of GeV electron beams from a laser wakefield accelerator
Calin Ioan Hojbota, Hyung Taek Kim, Jung Hun Shin +3
We present a technique, based on a dipole magnet spectrometer containing multiple scintillation screens, to accurately characterize the spectral distribution of a GeV electron beam…
Proof-of-principle experiment for nanoparticle-assisted laser wakefield acceleration
Constantin Aniculaesei, Vishwa Bandhu Pathak, Kyung Hwan Oh +9
In the present work, we demonstrate for the first time a proof-of-principle experiment for nanoparticle-assisted laser wakefield acceleration. The nanoparticles, generated through…
Electron energy increase in a laser wakefield accelerator using longitudinally shaped plasma density profiles
Constantin Aniculaesei, Vishwa Bandhu Pathak, Hyung Taek Kim +13
The phase velocity of the wakefield of a laser wakefield accelerator can, theoretically, be manipulated by shaping the longitudinal plasma density profile, thus controlling the par…
