Measurement of the decay of laser-driven linear plasma wakefields
J. Jonnerby, A. von Boetticher, J. Holloway +8
We present the first measurements of the temporal decay rate of one-dimensional, linear Langmuir waves excited by an ultra-short laser pulse. Langmuir waves with relative amplitude…
Low-Density Hydrodynamic Optical-Field-Ionized Plasma Channels Generated With An Axicon Lens
R. J. Shalloo, C. Arran, A. Picksley +9
We demonstrate optical guiding of high-intensity laser pulses in long, low density hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) plasma channels. An axicon lens is used to generate HOF…
Hydrodynamic, Optically-Field-Ionized (HOFI) Plasma Channels
Robert Shalloo, Christopher Arran, Laura Corner +5
We present experiments and numerical simulations which demonstrate that fully-ionized, low-density plasma channels could be formed by hydrodynamic expansion of plasma columns produ…
Bright X-ray radiation from plasma bubbles in an evolving laser wakefield accelerator
M. S. Bloom, M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip +17
We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright x-rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over which the laser self-focuses and…
Observation of Laser Power Amplification in a Self-Injecting Laser Wakefield Accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip, M. S. Bloom +17
We report on the depletion and power amplification of the driving laser pulse in a strongly-driven laser wakefield accelerator. Simultaneous measurement of the transmitted pulse en…
AWAKE readiness for the study of the seeded self-modulation of a 400\,GeV proton bunch
P. Muggli, E. Adli, R. Apsimon +104
AWAKE is a proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. % We show that the experimental setup briefly described here is ready for systematic study of the seeded self-mod…
QED-driven laser absorption
M. C. Levy, T. G. Blackburn, N. Ratan +13
Absorption covers the physical processes which convert intense photon flux into energetic particles when a high-power laser illuminates optically-thick matter. It underpins importa…
AWAKE, The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment at CERN
E. Gschwendtner, E. Adli, L. Amorim +88
The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) aims at studying plasma wakefield generation and electron acceleration driven by proton bunches. It is a…
Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept
A. Caldwell, E. Adli, L. Amorim +118
This report describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield ac…
Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration: a path to the future of high-energy particle physics
AWAKE Collaboration, R. Assmann, R. Bingham +47
New acceleration technology is mandatory for the future elucidation of fundamental particles and their interactions. A promising approach is to exploit the properties of plasmas. P…
