All-optical GeV electron bunch generation in a laser-plasma accelerator via truncated-channel injection
A. Picksley, J. Chappell, E. Archer +10
We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a drive pulse guided by an all-optical plasma channel. We use th…
Measurement of the decay of laser-driven linear plasma wakefields
J. Jonnerby, A. von Boetticher, J. Holloway +8
We present the first measurements of the temporal decay rate of one-dimensional, linear Langmuir waves excited by an ultra-short laser pulse. Langmuir waves with relative amplitude…
Demonstration of tunability of HOFI waveguides via start-to-end simulations
S. M. Mewes, G. J. Boyle, A. Ferran Pousa +7
In recent years, hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) channels have emerged as a promising technique to create laser waveguides suitable for guiding tightly-focused laser puls…
Stability of the Modulator in a Plasma-Modulated Plasma Accelerator
Johannes J. van de Wetering, Simon M. Hooker, Roman Walczak
We explore the regime of operation of the modulator stage of a recently proposed laser-plasma accelerator scheme [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 184801 (2021)], dubbed the Plasma-Modulated…
Modulational instability in large-amplitude linear laser wakefields
Alexander von Boetticher, Roman Walczak, Simon Hooker
We investigate the growth of ion density perturbations in large-amplitude linear laser wakefields via two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Growth rates and wave numbers ar…
Demonstration of kilohertz operation of Hydrodynamic Optical-Field-Ionized Plasma Channels
A. Alejo, J. Cowley, A. Picksley +2
We demonstrate experimentally that hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) plasma channels can be generated at kHz-scale pulse repetition rates, in a static gas cell and for an e…
