Physics-Informed Drift Diagnosis for Laser-Plasma Accelerator Operations
Ou Labun, Calin Hojbota, Mara Klebonas +4
Laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) sustain accelerating gradients of order , but routine operation remains difficult: electron beam metrics drift over an operatin…
Laser-Wakefield-Driven Photonuclear and Laser-Driven DD Fusion Neutron Sources for Fast Neutron Capture: A Start-to-End Simulation Study
Ou Z. Labun, D. D. Phan, L. Labun +6
Laser-driven neutron sources offer ultrashort pulse durations and extreme peak fluxes inaccessible to conventional facilities, enabling novel time-of-flight(TOF) spectroscopy and n…
Exact solutions for the electromagnetic fields of a flying focus
D. Ramsey, A. Di Piazza, M. Formanek +10
The intensity peak of a "flying focus" travels at a programmable velocity over many Rayleigh ranges while maintaining a near-constant profile. Assessing the extent to which these f…
Spatiotemporal control of laser intensity through cross-phase modulation
Tanner T. Simpson, Dillon Ramsey, Phil Franke +5
Spatiotemporal pulse shaping provides control over the trajectory and range of an intensity peak. While this control can enhance laser-based applications, the optical configuration…
Nonlinear Thomson scattering with ponderomotive control
D. Ramsey, B. Malaca, A. Di Piazza +7
In nonlinear Thomson scattering, a relativistic electron reflects and re-radiates the photons of a laser pulse, converting optical light to x rays or beyond. While this extreme fre…
Optical Shock-Enhanced Self-Photon Acceleration
Philip Franke, Dillon Ramsey, Tanner T. Simpson +2
Photon accelerators can spectrally broaden laser pulses with high efficiency in moving electron density gradients. When driven by a conventional laser pulse, the group velocity wal…
Nonlinear spatiotemporal control of laser intensity
Tanner T. Simpson, Dillon Ramsey, Philip Franke +4
Spatiotemporal control over the intensity of a laser pulse has the potential to enable or revolutionize a wide range of laser-based applications that currently suffer from the poor…
Laser-plasma acceleration beyond wave breaking
J. P. Palastro, B. Malaca, J. Vieira +5
Laser wakefield accelerators rely on the extremely high electric fields of nonlinear plasma waves to trap and accelerate electrons to relativistic energies over short distances. Wh…
Vacuum acceleration of electrons in a dynamic laser pulse
Dillon Ramsey, Philip Franke, Tanner Simpson +2
A planar laser pulse propagating in vacuum can exhibit an extremely large ponderomotive force. This force, however, cannot impart net energy to an electron: As the pulse overtakes…
Photon Acceleration in a Flying Focus
A. J. Howard, D. Turnbull, A. S. Davies +3
A high-intensity laser pulse propagating through a medium triggers an ionization front that can accelerate and frequency-upshift the photons of a second pulse. The maximum upshift…
