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…

Characterisation of Laser Wakefield Acceleration Efficiency with Octave Spanning Near-IR Spectrum Measurements

M. J. V. Streeter, Y. Ma, B. Kettle +25

We report on experimental measurements of energy transfer efficiencies in a GeV-class laser wakefield accelerator. Both the transfer of energy from the laser to the plasma wakefiel…
