Complete temporal characterisation of asymmetric pulse compression in a laser wakefield
J. Schreiber, C. Bellei, S. P. D. Mangles +6
We present complete experimental characterisation of the temporal shape of an intense ultrashort 200-TW laser pulse driving a laser wakefield. The phase of the pulse was uniquely m…
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…
Observation of post-soliton expansion following laser propagation through an underdense plasma
G. Sarri, 1 D. K. Singh, 2 J. R. Davies +15
The expansion of electromagnetic post-solitons emerging from the interaction of a 30 ps, W cm laser pulse with an underdense deuterium plasma has been obse…
Monoenergetic proton beams accelerated by a radiation pressure driven shock
C. A. J. Palmer, N. P. Dover, I. Pogorelsky +8
High energy ion beams (> MeV) generated by intense laser pulses promise to be viable alternatives to conventional ion beam sources due to their unique properties such as high charg…
Micron-scale Fast Electron Filamentation and Recirculation determined from Rear Side Optical Emission in High Intensity Laser-Solid Interactions
C. Bellei, S. R. Nagel, S. Kar +24
The transport of relativistic electrons generated in the interaction of petawatt class lasers with solid targets has been studied through measurements of the optical emission from…
