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…
The Effect of Laser Focusing Conditions on Propagation and Monoenergetic Electron Production in Laser Wakefield Accelerators
A. G. R. Thomas, Z. Najmudin, S. P. D. Mangles +8
The effect of laser focusing conditions on the evolution of relativistic plasma waves in laser wakefield accelerators is studied both experimentally and with particle-in-cell simul…
