Beam current from downramp injection in electron-driven plasma wakefields
Céline Hue, Anton Golovanov, Sheroy Tata +2
We study the stability of plasma wake wave and the properties of density-downramp injection in an electron-driven plasma accelerator. In this accelerator type, a short high-current…
Proton acceleration with intense twisted laser light
Camilla Willim, Jorge Vieira, Victor Malka +1
An efficient approach that considers a high-intensity twisted laser of moderate energy (few J) is proposed to generate collimated proton bunches with multi-10-MeV energies from a d…
Simultaneous generation and detection of energetic particle and radiation beams from relativistic plasma mirrors driven at kHz repetition rate
Jaismeen Kaur, Marie Ouillé, Dan Levy +8
We report on the first simultaneous measurement of high-order harmonics, relativistic electrons and low divergence proton beams generated from plasma mirrors driven at kHz repetiti…
Control of electron beam current, charge and energy spread using density downramp injection in laser wakefield accelerators
Celine Hue, Yang Wan, Eitan Y. Levine +1
Density dowmramp injection has been demonstrated to be an elegant and efficient approach for generating high quality electron beams in laser wakefield accelerators. Yet, the charge…
Bright synchrotron radiation from relativistic self-trapping of a short laser pulse in near-critical density plasma
M. G. Lobok, I. A. Andriyash, O. E. Vais +2
In a dense gas plasma a short laser pulse propagates in relativistic self-trapping mode, which enables effective conversion of laser energy to the accelerated electrons. This regim…
Enhanced laser-driven proton acceleration with gas-foil targets
Dan Levy, Xavier Davoine, Arnaud Debayle +2
We study numerically the mechanisms of proton acceleration in gas-foil targets driven by an ultraintense femtosecond laser pulse. The target consists of a near-critical-density hyd…
