Revealing Laser and Electron Beam Evolution in 10-GeV-class Laser-Plasma Accelerators
H. Tang, A. Picksley, C. Benedetti +12
Guiding relativistically intense laser pulses in low-density plasmas enables extended acceleration lengths in laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs), allowing for the production of multi…
Longitudinal tapering in meter-scale gas jets for increased efficiency of laser plasma accelerators
R. Li, A. Picksley, C. Benedetti +10
Modern laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) often require plasma waveguides tens of cm long to propagate a high-intensity drive laser pulse. Tapering the longitudinal gas density profi…
Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators
A. Picksley, J. Stackhouse, C. Benedetti +12
We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high qual…
Resonant excitation of plasma waves in a plasma channel
Aimee J. Ross, James Chappell, Johannes J. van de Wetering +14
We demonstrate resonant excitation of a plasma wave by a train of short laser pulses guided in a pre-formed plasma channel, for parameters relevant to a plasma-modulated plasma acc…
Guided mode evolution and ionization injection in meter-scale multi-GeV laser wakefield accelerators
J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow, B. Miao +7
We show that laser wakefield electron accelerators in meter-scale, low density hydrodynamic plasma waveguides operate in a new nonlinear propagation regime where sustained beating…
All-optical GeV electron bunch generation in a laser-plasma accelerator via truncated-channel injection
A. Picksley, J. Chappell, E. Archer +10
We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a drive pulse guided by an all-optical plasma channel. We use th…
