Laser-Polarization Dependence of Betatron X-Ray Production and Angular Collection in Laser-Wakefield Acceleration

Andrei Ciprian Berceanu, Vojtěch Horný, Dan Stutman +1

Laser polarization affects both the production of betatron x rays and their angular distribution, which together determine the photon yield collected within a fixed angular accepta…

Batch Bayesian optimization of attosecond betatron pulses from laser wakefield acceleration

Dominika Maslarova, Albert Hansson, Mufei Luo +4

Laser wakefield acceleration can generate a femtosecond-scale broadband X-ray betatron radiation pulse from electrons accelerated by an intense laser pulse in a plasma. The microme…

A new scheme for isomer pumping and depletion with high-power lasers

C. -J. Yang, K. M. Spohr, M. Cernaianu +3

We propose a novel scheme for the population and depletion of nuclear isomers. The scheme combines the -photons with energies keV emitted during the interaction of…

Optimizing laser coupling, matter heating, and particle acceleration from solids using multiplexed ultraintense lasers

Weipeng Yao, Motoaki Nakatsutsumi, Sébastien Buffechoux +20

Realizing the full potential of ultrahigh-intensity lasers for particle and radiation generation will require multi-beam arrangements due to technology limitations. Here, we invest…

Characterization and performance of the Apollon Short-Focal-Area facility following its commissioning at 1 PW level

K. Burdonov, A. Fazzini, V. Lelasseux +45

We present the results of the first commissioning phase of the ``short focal length'' area (SFA) of the Apollon laser facility (located in Saclay, France), which was performed with…

Numerical investigation of spallation neutrons generated from petawatt-scale laser-driven proton beams

B. Martinez, S. N. Chen, S. Bolaños +15

Due to their high cost of acquisition and operation, there are still a limited number of high-yield, high-flux neutron source facilities worldwide. In this context, laser-driven ne…

Generation of attosecond electron bunches and X-ray pulses from few-cycle femtosecond laser pulses

Julien Ferri, Vojtech Horný, Tünde Fülöp

Laser-plasma electron accelerators can be used to produce high-intensity X-rays, as electrons accelerated in wakefields emit radiation due to betatron oscillations.Such X-ray sourc…

Generation of ultrafast electron bunch trains via trapping into multiple periods of plasma wakefields

Grigory Golovin, Vojtěch Horný, Wenchao Yan +5

We demonstrate a novel approach to the generation of femtosecond electron bunch trains via laser-driven wakefield acceleration. We use two independent high-intensity laser pulses,…
