On the generation of astrophysically-relevant intermittent magnetic turbulence in the laboratory
Itamar Cohen, Weipeng Yao, Archie F. A. Bott +18
Intermittent magnetic turbulence, namely the presence of non-ordered and clusterized fields, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas. It is currently understo…
Implementation and commissioning of an experimental system towards sub-eV axion-like particle searches with 0.1 PW laser at ELI-NP
Yoshihide Nakamiya, Kensuke Homma, Madalin-Mihai Rosu +21
We have developed and commissioned an experimental system at ELI-NP towards searches for axion-like particles (ALPs) in the worldwide 10~PW-class laser facility. The search princip…
Electron Acceleration in a Flying-Focus Laser Wakefield Accelerator
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Slava Smartsev +3
Structured light pulses hold significant promise for their ability to overcome dephasing in laser-wakefield accelerators, that should facilitate applications in high-energy physics…
Enhanced dynamic range spatio-spectral metrology of few-cycle laser pulses
Cristian Alexe, Aaron Liberman, Saga Westerberg +13
Accurate spatio-temporal and spatio-spectral metrology is critical to the characterization and use of ultra-short, high-power lasers. The emergence of few cycle pulses, with bandwi…
First Electron Acceleration in a Tunable-Velocity Laser Wakefield
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Slava Smartsev +3
We present the first experimental confirmation that a laser-wakefield accelerator produced by a flying focus pulse is able to maintain the coherent structures necessary to accelera…
Probing Flying-Focus Wakefields
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Sheroy Tata +2
Flying-focus wakefields, which can propagate with a tunable velocity along the optical axis, are promising solutions to electron dephasing in laser-wakefield accelerators. This is…
