Report on the Advanced Linear Collider Study Group (ALEGRO) Workshop 2026
L. Verra, P. Muggli, B. Cross +56
The 7th ALEGRO workshop, hosted by INFN Frascati National Laboratories from 3rd to 5th March 2026, brought together the international Advanced Novel Accelerators (ANA) community to…
Revealing Laser and Electron Beam Evolution in 10-GeV-class Laser-Plasma Accelerators
H. Tang, A. Picksley, C. Benedetti +12
Guiding relativistically intense laser pulses in low-density plasmas enables extended acceleration lengths in laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs), allowing for the production of multi…
Bayesian Optimization of Laser-Wakefield Acceleration via Spectral Pulse Shaping
B. Z. DjordjeviÄ, C. Benedetti, A. D. McNaughton +7
In this paper, we investigate the effect of spectral pulse shaping of the laser driver on the performance of channel-guided, laser-plasma accelerators. The study was carried out wi…
Longitudinal tapering in meter-scale gas jets for increased efficiency of laser plasma accelerators
R. Li, A. Picksley, C. Benedetti +10
Modern laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) often require plasma waveguides tens of cm long to propagate a high-intensity drive laser pulse. Tapering the longitudinal gas density profi…
