Bayesian Optimization Algorithms for Accelerator Physics
Ryan Roussel, Auralee L. Edelen, Tobias Boltz +23
Accelerator physics relies on numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems in online accelerator control and tasks such as experimental design and model calibration in simul…
Control Systems and Data Management for High-Power Laser Facilities
Scott Feister, Kevin Cassou, Stephen Dann +9
The next generation of high-power lasers enables repetition of experiments at orders of magnitude higher frequency than was possible using the prior generation. Facilities requirin…
Data-driven Science and Machine Learning Methods in Laser-Plasma Physics
Andreas Döpp, Christoph Eberle, Sunny Howard +3
Laser-plasma physics has developed rapidly over the past few decades as high-power lasers have become both increasingly powerful and more widely available. Early experimental and n…
Conceptual Design Report for the LUXE Experiment
Halina Abramowicz, Uwe Hernandez Acosta, Massimo Altarelli +88
This Conceptual Design Report describes LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experimental campaign that aims to combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the Europe…
Automation and control of laser wakefield accelerators using Bayesian optimisation
R. J. Shalloo, S. J. D. Dann, J. -N. Gruse +26
Laser wakefield accelerators promise to revolutionise many areas of accelerator science. However, one of the greatest challenges to their widespread adoption is the difficulty in c…
Plasma Wakefield Accelerator Research 2019 - 2040: A community-driven UK roadmap compiled by the Plasma Wakefield Accelerator Steering Committee (PWASC)
Bernhard Hidding, Simon Hooker, Steven Jamison +9
The acceleration gradients generated in a laser- or beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator are typically three orders of magnitude greater than those produced by a conventional a…
A tunable plasma-based energy dechirper
R. D'Arcy, S. Wesch, A. Aschikhin +23
A tunable plasma-based energy dechirper has been developed at FLASHForward to remove the correlated energy spread of a 681~MeV electron bunch. Through the interaction of the bunch…
Temporal Feedback Control of High-Intensity Laser Pulses to Optimize Ultrafast Heating of Atomic Clusters
M. J. V. Streeter, S. J. D. Dann, J. D. E. Scott +27
We describe how active feedback routines can be applied at limited repetition rate (5 Hz) to optimize high-power TW) laser interactions with clustered gases. Optimization of…
Enhanced laser-driven ion acceleration by superponderomotive electrons generated from near-critical-density plasma
J. H. Bin, M. Yeung, Z. Gong +10
We report on the experimental studies of laser driven ion acceleration from double-layer target where a near-critical density target with a few-micron thickness is coated in front…
The FLASHForward Facility at DESY
A. Aschikhin, C. Behrens, S. Bohlen +35
The FLASHForward project at DESY is a pioneering plasma-wakefield acceleration experiment that aims to produce, in a few centimetres of ionised hydrogen, beams with energy of order…
Buffered spectrally-peaked proton beams in the relativistic-transparency regime
N. P. Dover, M. J. V. Streeter, C. A. J. Palmer +23
Spectrally-peaked proton beams ( MeV, MeV) have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( Wcm) with ultrathin CH foi…
Relativistic plasma optics enabled by near-critical density nanostructured material
J. H. Bin, W. J. Ma, H. Y. Wang +11
The nonlinear optical properties of a plasma due to the relativistic electron motion in an intense laser field are of fundamental importance for current research and the generation…
Bright subcycle XUV pulse from a single dense relativistic electron sheet
W. J. Ma, J. H. Bin, H. Y. Wang +11
Relativistic electrons are prodigious sources of photons. Beyond classical accelerators, ultra-intense laser interactions are of particular interest as they allow the coherent moti…
