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…
Study of accelerated ion energy and spatial distribution with variable thickness liquid crystal targets
P. L. Poole, C. Willis, C. D. Andereck +2
We report on laser-based ion acceleration using freely suspended liquid crystal film targets, formed with thicknesses varying from 100 to 2 for this experiment. Optimizat…
Microengineering laser plasma interactions at relativistic intensities
S. Jiang, L. L. Ji, H. Audesirk +8
We report on the first successful proof-of-principle experiment to manipulate laser-matter interactions on the microscale using highly ordered Si microwire arrays. The interaction…
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…
Liquid crystal films as on-demand, variable thickness (50-5000 nm) targets for intense lasers
P. L. Poole, C. D. Andereck, D. W. Schumacher +6
We have developed a new type of target for intense laser-matter experiments that offers significant advantages over those currently in use. The targets consist of a liquid crystal…
