High-energy betatron source driven by a 4-PW laser with applications to non-destructive imaging
Calin Ioan Hojbota, Mohammad Mirzaie, Do Yeon Kim +10
Petawatt-class lasers can produce multi-GeV electron beams through laser wakefield electron acceleration. As a by-product, the accelerated electron beams can generate broad synchro…

Super-Heavy Ions Acceleration Driven by Ultrashort Laser Pulses at Ultrahigh Intensity
Pengjie Wang, Zheng Gong, Seong Geun Lee +17
The acceleration of super-heavy ions (SHIs) from plasmas driven by ultrashort (tens of femtoseconds) laser pulses is a challenging topic waiting for breakthrough. The detecting and…

Optical Shaping of Plasma Cavity for Controlled Laser Wakefield Acceleration
Bobbili Sanyasi Rao, Myung Hoon Cho, Hyung Taek Kim +7
Laser wakefield accelerators rely on relativistically moving micron-sized plasma cavities that provide extremely high electric field >100GV/m. Here, we demonstrate transverse shapi…
