Radiation damage to normal mammalian tissue in vivo with laser-driven protons at ultra-high instantaneous dose rate

Lieselotte Obst-Huebl, Jamie L. Inman, Jared De Chant +12

The differential sparing of normal tissues relative to tumor control observed at ultra-high dose rates, referred to as the FLASH effect, has recently gained considerable attention.…

Dephasing of ion beams as Magnetic Vortex Acceleration regime transitions into a bubble-like field structure

Sahel Hakimi, Stepan S. Bulanov, Axel Huebl +9

The interaction of an ultra-intense laser pulse with a near critical density target results in the formation of a plasma channel, a strong azimuthal magnetic field and moving vorti…

Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators

A. Picksley, J. Stackhouse, C. Benedetti +12

We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high qual…
