Optimisation of the pointing stability of laser-wakefield accelerated electron beams
R. J. Garland, K. Poder, J. Cole +13
Laser-wakefield acceleration is a promising technique for the next generation of ultra-compact, high-energy particle accelerators. However, for a meaningful use of laser-driven par…
Generation of a neutral, high-density electron-positron plasma in the laboratory
G. Sarri, K. Poder, J. Cole +17
We report on the laser-driven generation of purely neutral, relativistic electron-positron pair plasmas. The overall charge neutrality, high average Lorentz factor ($γ_{e/p} \appro…
Evidence of resonant surface wave excitation in the relativistic regime through measurements of proton acceleration from grating targets
T. Ceccotti, V. Floquet, A. Sgattoni +25
The interaction of laser pulses with thin grating targets, having a periodic groove at the irradiated surface, has been experimentally investigated. Ultrahigh contrast ($\sim 10^{1…
Broad-band electron spectroscopy: a novel concept based on Thomson scattering
P. Tomassini, M. Galimberti, A. Giulietti +3
The spectrum of relativistic electron bunches with large energy dispersion is hardly obtainable with conventional magnetic spectrometers. We present a novel spectroscopic concept,…
Application of novel techniques for interferogram analysis to laser-plasma femtosecond probing
P. Tomassini, A. Giulietti, D. Giulietti +4
Recently, two novel techniques for the extraction of the phase-shift map (Tomassini {\it et.~al.}, Applied Optics {\bf 40} 35 (2001)) and the electronic density map estimation (Tom…
