Experimental demonstration of Flying-Focus enhanced Thomson scattering

E. Gerstmayr, C. Mariani, R. Fitzgarrald +23

We report the experimental demonstration of a spatiotemporally engineered "Flying-Focus" laser pulse for enhanced x-ray generation in relativistic Thomson scattering. A combination…

Space-time structured plasma waves

J. P. Palastro, K. G. Miller, R. K. Follett +4

Electrostatic waves play a critical role in nearly every branch of plasma physics from fusion to advanced accelerators, to astro, solar, and ionospheric physics. The properties of…

Signatures of vacuum birefringence in low-power flying focus pulses

Martin Formanek, John P. Palastro, Dillon Ramsey +2

Vacuum birefringence produces a differential phase between orthogonally polarized components of a weak electromagnetic probe in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field. Desp…

Spatiotemporal control of two-color terahertz generation

Tanner T. Simpson, Jeremy J. Pigeon, Manfred Virgil Ambat +5

A laser pulse composed of a fundamental and properly phased second harmonic exhibits an asymmetric electric field that can drive a time-dependent current of photoionized electrons.…

Coherence and superradiance from a plasma-based quasiparticle accelerator

B. Malaca, M. Pardal, D. Ramsey +7

Coherent light sources, such as free electron lasers, provide bright beams for biology, chemistry, physics, and advanced technological applications. Increasing the brightness of th…

Charged particle beam transport in a flying focus pulse with orbital angular momentum

Martin Formanek, John P. Palastro, Marija Vranic +2

We demonstrate the capability of Flying Focus (FF) laser pulses with orbital angular momentum (OAM) to transversely confine ultra-relativistic charged particle bunches o…
