Proposal to use laser-accelerated electrons to probe the axion-electron coupling
Georgios Vacalis, Atsushi Higuchi, Robert Bingham +1
The axion is a hypothetical particle associated with a possible solution to the strong CP problem and is a leading candidate for dark matter. In this paper we investigate the emiss…
Emission of pairs of Minkowski photons through the lens of the Unruh effect
Juan V. O. Pêgas, Robert Bingham, Gianluca Gregori +1
We discuss the emission of pairs of photons by charges with generic worldlines in the Minkowski vacuum from the viewpoint of inertial observers and interpret them from the perspect…
Suppression of pair beam instabilities in a laboratory analogue of blazar pair cascades
Charles D. Arrowsmith, Francesco Miniati, Pablo J. Bilbao +28
The generation of dense electron-positron pair beams in the laboratory can enable direct tests of theoretical models of -ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. We have successfu…
Measurement of ion acceleration and diffusion in a laser-driven magnetized plasma
J. T. Y. Chu, J. W. D. Halliday, C. Heaton +25
Here we present results from an experiment performed at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. A mono-energetic beam of chromium ions with initial energies of …
An Online Data Analysis Framework for Small-Scale Physics Experiments
Hayden Ramm, Pascal Simon, Paraskevi Alexaki +11
A robust and flexible architecture capable of providing real-time analysis on diagnostic data is of crucial importance to physics experiments. In this paper, we present such an onl…
Larmor radiation as a witness to the Unruh effect
Atsushi Higuchi, George E. A. Matsas, Daniel A. T. Vanzella +5
We discuss the emission of radiation from general sources in quantum scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational fields using the Rindler coordinate frame, which is suitable for a un…
Characterization of foam-filled hohlraums for inertial fusion experiments
Sam Iaquinta, Peter Amendt, Jose Milovich +8
On the path towards high-gain inertial confinement fusion ignition, foams are being considered to tamp the hohlraum wall-motion, and mitigate laser backscattering from Stimulated R…
Bounds on heavy axions with an X-ray free electron laser
Jack W. D. Halliday, Giacomo Marocco, Konstantin A. Beyer +18
We present new exclusion bounds obtained at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser facility (EuXFEL) on axion-like particles (ALPs) in the mass range 10^{-3} eV < m_a < 10^4 eV. Ou…
Classical Larmor formula through the Unruh effect for uniformly accelerated electrons
Georgios Vacalis, Atsushi Higuchi, Robert Bingham +1
We investigate the connection between the classical Larmor formula and the quantum Unruh effect by computing the emitted power by a uniformly accelerated charged particle and its a…
Transport of high-energy charged particles through spatially-intermittent turbulent magnetic fields
L. E. Chen, A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos +22
Identifying the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays requires understanding how they are deflected by the stochastic, spatially intermittent intergalactic magnetic field. Here…
Magnetic field generation in plasma waves driven by co-propagating intense twisted lasers
Y. Shi, J. Vieira, R. M. G. M. Trines +3
We present a new magnetic field generation mechanism in underdense plasmas driven by the beating of two, co-propagating, Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) orbital angular momentum (OAM) laser…
Laboratory evidence of dynamo amplification of magnetic fields in a turbulent plasma
P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +27
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. Extragalactic disks, halos and clusters have consistently been shown, via diffuse radio-synchrotron emission and Faraday rotation me…
Numerical modeling of laser-driven experiments aiming to demonstrate magnetic field amplification via turbulent dynamo
P. Tzeferacos, A. Rigby, A. Bott +29
The universe is permeated by magnetic fields, with strengths ranging from a femtogauss in the voids between the filaments of galaxy clusters to several teragauss in black holes and…
