Linear Breit-Wheeler pair production in the search for axion-like particles
Thomas Rook, Wei Wu, Stuart P. D. Mangles +1
Assuming the existence of axion-like particles (ALPs), the standard Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) amplitudes for the linear Breit-Wheeler (BW) pair production process are shown to…
Multi-messenger dynamic imaging of laser-driven shocks in water using a plasma wakefield accelerator
Mario D. Balcazar, Hai-En Tsai, Tobias Ostermayr +27
Understanding dense matter hydrodynamics is critical for predicting plasma behavior in environments relevant to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Traditional diagnostic sou…
High brightness multi-MeV photon source driven by a petawatt-scale laser wakefield accelerator
E. Gerstmayr, B. Kettle, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We present an experimental demonstration of a bright multi-MeV gamma source driven by a petawatt laser. The source generates on average photons above 1 MeV…
Experimental evidence of production of directional muons from a laser-wakefield accelerator
L. Calvin, E. Gerstmayr, C. Arran +19
We report on experimental evidence of the generation of directional muons from a laser-wakefield accelerator driven by a PW-class laser. The muons were generated following the inte…
Single-pulse Gy-scale irradiation of biological cells at Gy/s average dose-rates from a laser-wakefield accelerator
C. A. McAnespie, P. Chaudhary, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We report on the first experimental characterization of a laser-wakefield accelerator able to deliver, in a single pulse, doses in excess of \unit[1]{Gy} on timescales of the order…
Bounding elastic photon-photon scattering at MeV using a laser-plasma platform
R. Watt, B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr +36
We report on a direct search for elastic photon-photon scattering using x-ray and photons from a laser-plasma based experiment. A gamma photon beam produced by a laser wakefiel…
