Direct laser acceleration in underdense plasmas with multi-PW lasers: a path to high-charge, GeV-class electron bunches
R. Babjak, L. Willingale, A. Arefiev +1
The direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electrons in underdense plasmas can provide 100s of nC of electrons accelerated to near-GeV energies using currently available lasers. Here w…

The Influence of Laser Focusing Conditions on the Direct Laser Acceleration of Electrons
H. Tang, K. Tangtartharakul, R. Babjak +12
Direct Laser Acceleration (DLA) of electrons during a high-energy, picosecond laser interaction with an underdense plasma has been demonstrated to be substantially enhanced by cont…

Multiplicity of electron- and photon-seeded electromagnetic showers at multi-petawatt laser facilities
M. Pouyez, A. A. Mironov, T. Grismayer +5
Electromagnetic showers developing from the collision of an ultra-intense laser pulse with a beam of high-energy electrons or photons are investigated under conditions relevant to…
