Towards direct spatial and intensity characterization of ultra-high intensity laser pulses using ponderomotive scattering of free electrons
A. Longman, S. Ravichandran, L. Manzo +12
Spatial distributions of electrons ionized and scattered from ultra-low pressure gases are proposed and experimentally demonstrated as a method to directly measure the intensity of…
A cylindrical implosion platform for the study of highly magnetized plasmas at LMJ
G. Pérez-Callejo, C. Vlachos, C. A. Walsh +27
Investigating the potential benefits of the use of magnetic fields in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiments has given rise to new experimental platforms like the Magnetized…
Kilo-Tesla axial magnetic field generation with high intensity spin and orbital angular momentum beams
Andrew Longman, Robert Fedosejevs
Absorption of angular momentum from a high intensity laser pulse can lead to the generation of strong axial magnetic fields in plasma. The effect, known as the inverse Faraday effe…
A quasi-monoenergetic short time duration compact proton source for probing high energy density states of matter
J. I. Apiñaniz, S. Malko, R. Fedosejevs +15
We report on the development of a highly directional, narrow energy band, short time duration proton beam operating at high repetition rate, suitable for measurements of stopping p…
Towards an in situ, full-power gauge of the focal-volume intensity of petawatt-class lasers
C. Z. He, A. Longman, J. A. Pérez-Hernández +7
About 50 years ago, Sarachick and Schappert [Phys. Rev. D. 1, 2738 (1970)] showed that relativistic Thomson scattering leads to wavelength shifts that are proportional to the laser…
Collisionless shock acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams from mixed species plasmas using 1 m lasers
A. Pak, S. Kerr, N. Lemos +15
Collisionless shock acceleration of protons and C ions has been achieved by the interaction of a 10 W/cm, 1 m laser with a near-critical density plasma. Ablati…
GeV electrons due to a transition from laser wakefield acceleration to plasma wakefield acceleration
P. E. Masson-Laborde, M. Z. Mo, A. Ali +6
We show through experiments that a transition from laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) regime to a plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) regime can drive electrons up to energies cl…
