High-charge 10 GeV electron acceleration in a 10 cm nanoparticle-assisted hybrid wakefield accelerator
Constantin Aniculaesei, Thanh Ha, Samuel Yoffe +23
In an electron wakefield accelerator, an intense laser pulse or charged particle beam excites plasma waves. Under proper conditions, electrons from the background plasma are trappe…
Laser-driven neutron source from high temperature D-D fusion reactions
Xuejing Jiao, C. Curry, M. Gauthier +13
We report a laser-driven neutron source with high yield (/J) and high peak flux (/cm/s) derived from high-temperature deuteron-deuteron fusion reactions. The n…
Gradient Magnet Design for Simultaneous Detection of Electrons and Positrons in the Intermediate MeV Range
Ganesh Tiwari, Rotem Kupfer, Xuejing Jiao +2
We report the design and development of a compact electron and positron spectrometer based on tapered Neodymium Iron Boron magnets. We show that the tapered design forms a gradient…
Beam Distortion Effects upon focusing an ultrashort Petawatt Laser Pulse to greater than 10 W/cm
Ganesh Tiwari, Erhard Gaul, Mikael Martinez +15
When an ultrashort laser pulse is tightly focused to a size approaching its central wavelength, the properties of the focused spot diverge from the diffraction limited case. Here w…
En-route to the fission-fusion reaction mechanism: a status update on laser-driven heavy ion acceleration
F. H. Lindner, E. McCary, X. Jiao +6
The fission-fusion reaction mechanism was proposed in order to generate extremely neutron-rich nuclei close to the waiting point N = 126 of the rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesi…
