Dissipation of electron-beam-driven plasma wakes

Rafal Zgadzaj, Zhengyan Li, M. C. Downer +10

Metre-scale plasma wakefield accelerators have imparted energy gain approaching 10 gigaelectronvolts to single nano-Coulomb electron bunches. To reach useful average currents, howe…

Morphology and kinetics of asphalt binder microstructure at gas, liquid, and solid interfaces

Adam Ramm, Nazmus Sakib, Amit Bhasin +1

We combined optical and atomic force microscopy to observe morphology and kinetics of microstructures that formed at free surfaces of unmodified pavement-grade 64-22 asphalt binder…

Feasibility of OTR Imaging For Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator Electron-Beam Diagnostics

A. H. Lumpkin, D. W. Rule, M. C. Downer

We report the initial considerations of using linearly polarized optical transition radiation (OTR) to characterize the electron beams of laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) such as a…

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 (…

Analytic height correlation function of rough surfaces derived from light scattering

M. Zamani, F. Shafiei, S. M. Fazeli +2

We derive an analytic expression for the height correlation function of a rough surface based on the inverse wave scattering method of Kirchhoff theory. The expression directly rel…

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…
