Plasma Accelerator For Decaying Particles

Chiara Badiali, Rafael Almeida, Bernardo Malaca +3

We introduce a plasma wakefield acceleration scheme capable of boosting initially subrelativistic particles to relativistic velocities within millimeter-scale distances. A sublumin…

X-ray free-electron lasing in a flying-focus undulator

D. Ramsey, B. Malaca, T. T. Simpson +5

Laser-driven free-electron lasers (LDFELs) replace magnetostatic undulators with the electromagnetic fields of a laser pulse. Because the undulator period is half the wavelength of…

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…

Exact solutions for the electromagnetic fields of a flying focus

D. Ramsey, A. Di Piazza, M. Formanek +10

The intensity peak of a "flying focus" travels at a programmable velocity over many Rayleigh ranges while maintaining a near-constant profile. Assessing the extent to which these f…

Arbitrarily Structured Laser Pulses

Jacob R. Pierce, John P. Palastro, Fei Li +5

Spatiotemporal control refers to a class of optical techniques for structuring a laser pulse with coupled space-time dependent properties, including moving focal points, dynamic sp…

Nonlinear Thomson scattering with ponderomotive control

D. Ramsey, B. Malaca, A. Di Piazza +7

In nonlinear Thomson scattering, a relativistic electron reflects and re-radiates the photons of a laser pulse, converting optical light to x rays or beyond. While this extreme fre…
