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…
Influence of realistic parameters on state-of-the-art LWFA experiments
J. Vieira, S. F. Martins, F. Fiúza +7
We examine the influence of non-ideal plasma-density and non-Gaussian transverse laser-intensity profiles in the laser wakefield accelerator analytically and numerically. We find t…
The self-injection threshold in self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
Stuart P. D. Mangles, Guillaume Genoud, Michael S. Bloom +6
A laser pulse traveling through a plasma can excite large amplitude plasma waves that can be used to accelerate relativistic electron beams in a very short distance---a technique c…
