Experimental demonstration of Flying-Focus enhanced Thomson scattering
E. Gerstmayr, C. Mariani, R. Fitzgarrald +23
We report the experimental demonstration of a spatiotemporally engineered "Flying-Focus" laser pulse for enhanced x-ray generation in relativistic Thomson scattering. A combination…
Radiation damage to normal mammalian tissue in vivo with laser-driven protons at ultra-high instantaneous dose rate
Lieselotte Obst-Huebl, Jamie L. Inman, Jared De Chant +12
The differential sparing of normal tissues relative to tumor control observed at ultra-high dose rates, referred to as the FLASH effect, has recently gained considerable attention.…
Generation and control of Doppler harmonics approaching on plasma mirrors
Baptiste Groussin, Philipp Sikorski, Aodhan McIlvenny +12
In this letter, we report Doppler harmonic generation with a relativistic plasma mirror at unprecedented intensities using a PetaWatt-class laser. We sh…
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…
Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
A Renewable Double Plasma Mirror For Petawatt-class Lasers
Nick Czapla, Derek M. Nasir, Lieselotte Obst-Huebl +9
Exceptional pulse contrast can be critical for ultraintense laser experiments, particularly when using solid density targets, and their use is becoming widespread. However, current…
