On-Shot Characterization of Single Plasma Mirror Temporal Contrast Improvement
Lieselotte Obst, Josefine Metzkes-Ng, Stefan Bock +12
We report on the setup and commissioning of a compact recollimating single plasma mirror for temporal contrast enhancement at the Draco 150 TW laser during laser-proton acceleratio…
Relativistic laser driven electron accelerator using micro-channel plasma targets
Joseph Snyder, Liangliang Ji, Kevin M. George +11
We present an experimental demonstration of the efficient acceleration of electrons beyond 60 MeV using micro-channel plasma targets. We employed a high-contrast, 2.5 J, 32 fs shor…
In-situ, variable thickness, liquid crystal film target inserter for moderate repetition rate intense laser applications
P. L. Poole, C. Willis, G. E. Cochran +3
Liquid crystal films have recently been demonstrated as variable thickness, planar targets for ultra-intense laser matter experiments and applications such as ion acceleration. By…
Temporal resolution criterion for correctly simulating relativistic electron motion in a high-intensity laser field
Alexey V. Arefiev, Ginevra E. Cochran, Douglass W. Schumacher +2
Particle-in-cell codes are now standard tools for studying ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions. Motivated by direct laser acceleration of electrons in sub-critical plasmas, we…
