Efficient Acceleration of High-Quality GeV-Electron Bunches in a Hybrid Laser- and Beam-Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

F. M. Foerster, M. Ayache, Z. Bi +24

Plasma-based accelerators are compact and provide high gradients, yet their practical use has been limited by energy gain, stability, beam quality, and energy transfer efficiency.…

Measuring spatio-temporal couplings using modal spatio-spectral wavefront retrieval

N. Weiße, J. Esslinger, S. Howard +7

Knowledge of spatio-temporal couplings such as pulse-front tilt or curvature is important to determine the focused intensity of high-power lasers. Common techniques to diagnose the…

Physics of nanocoulomb-class electron beams in laser-plasma wakefields

J. Götzfried, A. Döpp, M. Gilljohann +7

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) and its particle-driven counterpart, plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA), are commonly treated as separate, though related branches of high-gra…
