Characterization and automated optimization of laser-driven proton beams from converging liquid sheet jet targets
G. D. Glenn, F. Treffert, H. Ahmed +31
Compact, stable, and versatile laser-driven ion sources hold great promise for applications ranging from medicine to materials science and fundamental physics. While single-shot so…
High brightness multi-MeV photon source driven by a petawatt-scale laser wakefield accelerator
E. Gerstmayr, B. Kettle, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We present an experimental demonstration of a bright multi-MeV gamma source driven by a petawatt laser. The source generates on average photons above 1 MeV…
Technical Status Report on Plasma Components and Systems in the context of EuPRAXIA
A. Biagioni, N. Bourgeois, F. Brandi +27
The EuPRAXIA project aims to construct two state-of-the-art accelerator facilities based on plasma accelerator technology. Plasma-based accelerators offer the possibility of a sign…
A New Optimization Methodology for Polar Direct Drive Illuminations at the National Ignition Facility
Duncan Barlow, A. Colaïtis, D. Viala +12
A new, efficient, algorithmic approach to create illumination configurations for laser driven high energy density physics experiments is proposed. The method is applied to a polar…
Technical Design Report for the LUXE Experiment
H. Abramowicz, M. Almanza Soto, M. Altarelli +131
This Technical Design Report presents a detailed description of all aspects of the LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine the high-quality and high-energ…
Automated control and optimisation of laser driven ion acceleration
B. Loughran, M. J. V. Streeter, H. Ahmed +32
The interaction of relativistically intense lasers with opaque targets represents a highly non-linear, multi-dimensional parameter space. This limits the utility of sequential 1D s…
Mechanisms to control laser-plasma coupling in laser wakefield electron acceleration
L. T. Dickson, C. I. D. Underwood, F. Filippi +16
Experimental results, supported by precise modelling, demonstrate optimisation of a plasma-based injector with intermediate laser pulse energy ( J), corresponding to a normalis…
The data-driven future of high energy density physics
Peter W. Hatfield, Jim A. Gaffney, Gemma J. Anderson +20
The study of plasma physics under conditions of extreme temperatures, densities and electromagnetic field strengths is significant for our understanding of astrophysics, nuclear fu…
A laser-plasma platform for photon-photon physics
B. Kettle, D. Hollatz, E. Gerstmayr +35
We describe a laser-plasma platform for photon-photon collision experiments to measure fundamental quantum electrodynamic processes such as the linear Breit-Wheeler process with re…
Compton recoil effects in staging of laser wakefield accelerators
M. J. V. Streeter, Z. Najmudin
Laser plasma accelerators capable of generating >10 GeV electron beams may require plasma mirrors to remove undepleted laser energy at the end of each accelerator stage. Near the p…
Single-shot multi-keV X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort laser wakefield accelerator source
B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr, M. J. V. Streeter +19
Single-shot absorption measurements have been performed using the multi-keV X-rays generated by a laser wakefield accelerator. A 200 TW laser was used to drive a laser wakefield ac…
Bright X-ray radiation from plasma bubbles in an evolving laser wakefield accelerator
M. S. Bloom, M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip +17
We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright x-rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over which the laser self-focuses and…
Observation of Laser Power Amplification in a Self-Injecting Laser Wakefield Accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip, M. S. Bloom +17
We report on the depletion and power amplification of the driving laser pulse in a strongly-driven laser wakefield accelerator. Simultaneous measurement of the transmitted pulse en…
