Dark-field Search for Quantum Vacuum Signals in the Low-Energy Regime
Aimé Matheron, Michal Šmíd, Felix Karbstein +52
We report on the experimental details of a dark-field search for light-by-light scattering signals performed at the High Energy Density (HED) instrument of the European XFEL (EuXFE…
All-optical source size and emittance measurements of laser-accelerated electron beams
F. C. Salgado, A. Kozan, D. Seipt +8
Novel schemes for generating ultra-low emittance electron beams have been developed in past years and promise compact particle sources with excellent beam quality suitable for futu…
Experimental estimates of the photon background in a potential light-by-light scattering study
Leonard Doyle, Pooyan Khademi, Peter Hilz +4
High power short pulse lasers provide a promising route to study the strong field effects of the quantum vacuum, for example by direct photon-photon scattering in the all-optical r…
Developing a 50 MeV LPA-based Injector at ATHENA for a Compact Storage Ring
E. Panofski, C. Braun, J. Dirkwinkel +22
The laser-driven generation of relativistic electron beams in plasma and their acceleration to high energies with GV/m-gradients has been successfully demonstrated. Now, it is time…
Conceptual Design Report for the LUXE Experiment
Halina Abramowicz, Uwe Hernandez Acosta, Massimo Altarelli +88
This Conceptual Design Report describes LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experimental campaign that aims to combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the Europe…
Progress on Experiments towards LWFA-driven Transverse Gradient Undulator-Based FELs
Axel Bernhard, Veronica Afonso Rodriguez, Stephan Kuschel +9
Free Electron Lasers (FEL) are commonly regarded as the potential key application of laser wakefield accelerators (LWFA). It has been found that electron bunches exiting from state…
Attosecond Control of Relativistic Electron Bunches using Two-Colour Fields
M. Yeung, S. Rykovanov, J. Bierbach +10
Energy coupling during relativistically intense laser-matter interactions is encoded in the attosecond motion of strongly driven electrons at the pre-formed plasma-vacuum boundary.…
Quantitative shadowgraphy and proton radiography for large intensity modulations
Muhammad Firmansyah Kasim, Luke Ceurvorst, Naren Ratan +8
Shadowgraphy is a technique widely used to diagnose objects or systems in various fields in physics and engineering. In shadowgraphy, an optical beam is deflected by the object and…
Modeling ultrafast shadowgraphy in laser-plasma interaction experiments
E. Siminos, S. Skupin, A. Sävert +3
Ultrafast shadowgraphy is a new experimental technique that uses few cycle laser pulses to image density gradients in a rapidly evolving plasma. It enables structures that move at…
Characterization and Application of Hard X-Ray Betatron Radiation Generated by Relativistic Electrons from a Laser-Wakefield Accelerator
Michael Schnell, Alexander Sävert, Ingo Uschmann +3
The necessity for compact table-top x-ray sources with higher brightness, shorter wavelength and shorter pulse duration has led to the development of complementary sources based on…
Direct observation of the injection dynamics of a laser wakefield accelerator using few-femtosecond shadowgraphy
A. Sävert, S. P. D. Mangles, M. Schnell +13
We present few-femtosecond shadowgraphic snapshots taken during the non-linear evolution of the plasma wave in a laser wakefield accelerator with transverse synchronized few-cycle…
Micron-scale Fast Electron Filamentation and Recirculation determined from Rear Side Optical Emission in High Intensity Laser-Solid Interactions
C. Bellei, S. R. Nagel, S. Kar +24
The transport of relativistic electrons generated in the interaction of petawatt class lasers with solid targets has been studied through measurements of the optical emission from…
