Phase-Space Shaping in Wakefield Accelerators due to Betatron Cooling
Pablo J. Bilbao, Thales Silva, Luis O. Silva
Plasma-based accelerators are beginning to employ relativistic beams with unprecedented charge and ultrashort durations. These dense driver beams can drive wakes even in high-densi…

Plasma rotation driven by lasers with zero angular momentum
Camilla Willim, Thales Silva, Luís Oliveira Silva +1
We present a novel mechanism in which plasma electrons and ions optically acquire angular momentum during local pump depletion of an azimuthally polarized laser, despite the laser…
