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…
Single-Shot High-Energy Muon and Particle Radiography with a Multi-GeV Laser-Wakefield-Accelerator-Driven Source
Kaixin Zhu, G. Jackson Williams, Roberto Versaci +29
The authors demonstrate single-shot radiography using a multi‑GeV laser‑wakefield accelerator that generates a beam of muons, pions, and neutrons, successfully imaging objects thro…
Photon Acceleration in Magnetized Plasma: A Mechanism for Fast Radio Bursts
Sergei V. Bulanov, Gabriele Maria Grittani, Marcel Lamac +7
We propose a mechanism for fast radio bursts based on photon acceleration by relativistic shocks propagating through highly magnetized electron--positron plasmas, as expected in ma…
Optimized matching conditions for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
P. Valenta, K. G. Miller, B. K. Russell +4
We revisit the matching conditions for self-guided laser pulse propagation in plasma and refine their formulation to maximize the energy of electrons produced via laser wakefield a…
Pair-loaded electron-only magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils
Brandon K. Russell, Qian Qian, Rebecca Fitzgarrald +12
We propose and simulate a laboratory platform to study the effects of positrons in magnetic reconnection using laser-driven capacitor coils. Using particle-in-cell simulations, we…
Photon Accelerator in Magnetized Electron-Ion Plasma
Sergei Bulanov, Stepan Bulanov, Timur Esirkepov +6
Strong magnetic fields and plasmas are intrinsically linked in both terrestrial laboratory experiments and in space phenomena. One of the most profound consequences of that is the…
