The Unexpected Role of Evolving Longitudinal Electric Fields in Generating Energetic Electrons in Relativistically Transparent Plasmas
L. Willingale, A. V. Arefiev, G. J. Williams +9
Superponderomotive-energy electrons are observed experimentally from the interaction of an intense laser pulse with a relativistically transparent target. For a relativistically tr…
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…
X-ray phase contrast imaging of biological specimens with tabletop synchrotron radiation
S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, F. Dollar +13
Since their discovery in 1896, x-rays have had a profound impact on science, medicine and technology. Here we show that the x-rays from a novel tabletop source of bright coherent s…
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…
Ensemble of ultra-high intensity attosecond pulses from laser-plasma interaction
S. S. Bulanov, A. Maksimchuk, K. Krushelnick +3
The efficient generation of intense X-rays and -radiation is studied. The scheme is based on the relativistic mirror concept, {\it i.e.}, a flying thin plasma slab interacts wit…
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…
