Energy-optimized scaling laws for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
Petr Valenta, Marcel Lamač, Kyle G. Miller +4
Laser wakefield acceleration promises compact electron accelerators for applications in medicine, industry, and fundamental science. Yet, despite rapid progress, accurately predict…
Photon Phase-Space Dynamics in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Neil Beri, John Palastro, Qian Qian +3
Frequency up-shifting of laser light in a beam-driven plasma wakefield has the potential to provide high-intensity sources of short wavelength radiation. Simulations have demonstra…
Reaching extreme fields in laser-electron beam collisions with XUV laser light
Brandon K. Russell, Christopher P. Ridgers, Stepan S. Bulanov +8
Plasma-based particle accelerators promise to extend the revolutionary work performed with conventional particle accelerators to studies with smaller footprints, lower costs, and h…
Path to a Single-Stage, 100-GeV Electron Beam via a Flying-Focus-Driven Laser-Plasma Accelerator
J. L. Shaw, M. V. Ambat, K. G. Miller +9
Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration (DLWFA), a novel laser wakefield acceleration concept based on the recently demonstrated "flying focus" technology, offers a new paradigm…
