Multi-GeV Electron Combs from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Chaojie Zhang, Douglas Storey, Alexander Knetsch +16
Plasma accelerators now produce GeV-class electron beams with brightness and stability sufficient to drive free-electron lasers. Beyond this, they possess a unique yet largely unex…
TeV Electron Beams from Plasma Acceleration via Regenerative Cascading
Chaojie Zhang, Chan Joshi
Plasma accelerators sustain gradients orders of magnitude higher than conventional radiofrequency machines, but most proposed paths to TeV energies still require tens of stages, ea…
Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions
Aimé Matheron, Doug Storey, Max F. Gilljohann +25
Extreme beams of charged particles and photons, reaching ultrahigh densities or producing intense gamma-ray bursts, are central to accelerator physics, laboratory astrophysics, and…
Generating intense attosecond pulses and vectorizing polarization states from laser-plasma interactions
Panfei Geng, Yipeng Wu, Zhixin Fan +7
Vector beams with spatially structured polarization and intertwined spin-orbital angular momentum (SAM-OAM) provide powerful degrees of freedom for tailoring light-matter interacti…
Generating 10 GW-class isolated zeptosecond x-ray bursts through bootstrapping two plasma-based accelerator stages
Qianyi Ma, Yuhui Xia, Zhenan Wang +8
A method is proposed to generate coherent, intense zeptosecond x-ray pulses by using the electron beam produced by a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) stage as the driver for a be…
Collider-quality electron bunches from an all-optical plasma photoinjector
Arohi Jain, Jiayang Yan, Jacob R. Pierce +11
We present a novel approach for generating collider-quality electron bunches using a plasma photoinjector. The approach leverages recently developed techniques for the spatiotempor…
Bidirectional cascaded superfluorescent lasing in air enabled by resonant third harmonic photon exchange from nitrogen to argon
Zan Nie, Noa Nambu, Kenneth A. Marsh +10
Cavity-free lasing in atmospheric air has stimulated intense research towards fundamental understanding of underlying physical mechanisms. In this Letter, we identify a new mechani…
Correlations between X-rays, Visible Light and Drive-Beam Energy Loss Observed in Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiments at FACET-II
Chaojie Zhang, Doug Storey, Pablo San Miguel Claveria +26
This study documents several correlations observed during the first run of the plasma wakefield acceleration experiment E300 conducted at FACET-II, using a single drive electron bu…
Thermal Weibel instability induced magnetic fields co-exist with linear wakes in laser-ionized plasmas
Yipeng Wu, Audrey Farrell, Mitchell Sinclair +12
When a moderately intense, few-picoseconds long laser pulse ionizes gas to produce an underdense plasma column, a linear relativistic plasma wave or wake can be excited by the self…
Self-organization of photoionized plasmas via kinetic instabilities
Chaojie Zhang, Chen-Kang Huang, Chan Joshi
Self-organization in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma (in this paper) refers to formation of transient coherent structures such as collective oscillations (electrostatic waves)…
A Scalable, High-Efficiency, Low-Energy-Spread, Laser Wakefield Accelerator using a Tri-plateau Plasma Channel
Shuang Liu, Fei Li, Shiyu Zhou +4
The emergence of multi-petawatt laser facilities is expected to push forward the maximum energy gain that can be achieved in a single stage of a LWFA to tens of GeV, which begs the…
Efficient generation of intense spatial and spatiotemporal vortex harmonics using plasma mirrors
Yipeng Wu, Zan Nie, Fei Li +4
Intense spatial or spatiotemporal vortex pulses from the extreme ultraviolet to soft X-ray spectral windows are expected to provide new degrees of freedom for a variety of key appl…
Efficient generation and amplification of intense vortex and vector laser pulses via strongly coupled stimulated Brillouin scattering in plasmas
Yipeng Wu, Chaojie Zhang, Zan Nie +7
The past decade has seen tremendous progress in the production and utilization of vortex and vector laser pulses. Although both are considered as structured light beams, the vortex…
Conservation of angular momentum in second harmonic generation from under-dense plasmas
C. K. Huang, C. J. Zhang, Z. Nie +3
Spin and orbital angular momentum of an optical beam are two independent parameters that exhibit distinct effects on mechanical objects. However, when laser beams with angular mome…
