Observation of Laser Power Amplification in a Self-Injecting Laser Wakefield Accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip, M. S. Bloom +17
We report on the depletion and power amplification of the driving laser pulse in a strongly-driven laser wakefield accelerator. Simultaneous measurement of the transmitted pulse en…
Optical probing of shocks driven into overdense plasmas by laser hole-boring
N. P. Dover, C. A. J. Palmer, M. Babzien +11
Observations of the interaction of an intense λ0 \approx 10 μm laser pulse with near-critical overdense plasmas (ne = 1.8 - 3 nc) are presented. For the first time, transverse opti…
Measurement of Magnetic-Field Structures in a Laser-Wakefield Accelerator
M. C. Kaluza, H. -P. Schlenvoigt, S. P. D. Mangles +6
Experimental measurements of magnetic fields generated in the cavity of a self-injecting laser-wakefield accelerator are presented. Faraday rotation is used to determine the existe…
Observation of a Long-Wavelength Hosing Modulation of a High-Intensity Laser Pulse in Underdense Plasma
M. C. Kaluza, S. P. D. Mangles, A. G. R. Thomas +10
We report the first experimental observation of a long-wavelength hosing modulation of a high-intensity laser pulse. Side-view images of the scattered optical radiation at the fund…
Resonant Plasma Wave Growth and Monoenergetic Electron Beam Production using Collinear High-Intensity Ultrashort Laser Pulses
A. G. R. Thomas, C. D. Murphy, S. P. D. Mangles +8
The resonant generation of relativistic plasma waves and plasma wave guiding by two co-propagating laser pulses has been studied. By proper timing between guiding and driver pulses…
Self-guided wakefield experiments driven by petawatt class ultra-short laser pulses
S. P. D. Mangles, A. G. R. Thomas, C. Bellei +6
We investigate the extension of self-injecting laser wakefield experiments to the regime that will be accessible with the next generation of petawatt class ultra-short pulse laser…
