Simulating Unruh Radiation in High-Intensity Laser-Electron Interactions for Near-Term Experimental Tests
Rafi Hessami, Haidar Al-Naseri, Monika Yadav +3
The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerating observer perceives the vacuum as a thermal bath, yet direct observation remains elusive [1]. We simulate Unruh radiation in…

Experimental generation of extreme electron beams for advanced accelerator applications
Claudio Emma, Nathan Majernik, Kelly Swanson +13
In this Letter we report on the experimental generation of high energy (10 GeV), ultra-short (fs-duration), ultra-high current (0.1 MA), petawatt peak power electron beams in a par…

Wavelength scaling and multi-color operation of a plasma driven attosecond X-ray source via harmonic generation
Rafi Hessami, Jenny Morgan, River Robles +3
The generation of high power coherent soft X-ray pulses of sub-100 as duration and 10 nm wavelength using beams from a GeV energy plasma wakefield accelerator has been recently inv…
