Electron Rephasing in a Truncated Tunable Plasma Channel

Arujash Mohanty, Santhosh Krishnamurthy, Yinren Shou +6

We report the acceleration of stable electron beams with energies up to 1.5 GeV using a 50 TW laser pulse guided in a preformed plasma channel generated by an axiparabola-focused h…

Imaging with GeV muons produced via laser-wakefield-accelerated electrons

M. Dobre, P. Ghenuche, A. Balaceanu +15

Artificially generated muon beams, with tunable parameters, are highly valuable in imaging objects that are opaque to any other scanning technique. Lower-energy muon beams are curr…

Probing Flying-Focus Wakefields

Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Sheroy Tata +2

Flying-focus wakefields, which can propagate with a tunable velocity along the optical axis, are promising solutions to electron dephasing in laser-wakefield accelerators. This is…
