Towards direct spatial and intensity characterization of ultra-high intensity laser pulses using ponderomotive scattering of free electrons
A. Longman, S. Ravichandran, L. Manzo +12
Spatial distributions of electrons ionized and scattered from ultra-low pressure gases are proposed and experimentally demonstrated as a method to directly measure the intensity of…
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…
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…
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…
