Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection in the Laboratory
A. Raymond, C. F. Dong, A. McKelvey +21
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process involving an exchange of magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy through changes in the magnetic field topology. In many astr…
Non-invasive characterization of transverse beam emittance of electrons from a laser-plasma wakefield accelerator in the bubble regime using betatron x-ray radiation
S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins +17
We propose and use a technique to measure the transverse emittance of a laser-wakefield accelerated beam of relativistic electrons. The technique is based on the simultaneous measu…
A Bright Spatially-Coherent Compact X-ray Synchrotron Source
S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins +19
Each successive generation of x-ray machines has opened up new frontiers in science, such as the first radiographs and the determination of the structure of DNA. State-of-the-art x…
Generation of GeV protons from 1 PW laser interaction with near critical density targets
Stepan S. Bulanov, Valery Yu. Bychenkov, Vladimir Chvykov +8
The propagation of ultra intense laser pulses through matter is connected with the generation of strong moving magnetic fields in the propagation channel as well as the formation o…
Accelerating Protons to Therapeutic Energies with Ultra-Intense Ultra-Clean and Ultra-Short Laser Pulses
Stepan S. Bulanov, Andrei Brantov, Valery Yu. Bychenkov +9
Proton acceleration by high-intensity laser pulses from ultra-thin foils for hadron therapy is discussed. With the improvement of the laser intensity contrast ratio to 10-11 achiev…
