Stability and optical quality of "windmill"-formed 8CB liquid crystal films for replenishable plasma mirrors
A. Vazquez, A. Jewell, M. Cole +16
Liquid crystal (LC) film plasma mirrors (PMs) based on 4-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) are an enabling technology for reflecting high-fluence laser pulses. These freestanding LC fil…
Experimental demonstration of a tomographic 5D phase-space reconstruction
S. Jaster-Merz, R. W. Assmann, J. BeinortaitÄ +17
Detailed knowledge of particle-beam properties is of great importance to understand and push the performance of existing and next-generation particle accelerators. We recently prop…
HALHF: a hybrid, asymmetric, linear Higgs factory using plasma- and RF-based acceleration
Erik Adli, Joshua Appleby, Timothy L. Barklow +59
HALHF is a hybrid linear collider that uses electron-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration to accelerate electrons to high energy while using radio-frequency cavity technology to ac…
Bounding elastic photon-photon scattering at MeV using a laser-plasma platform
R. Watt, B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr +36
We report on a direct search for elastic photon-photon scattering using x-ray and photons from a laser-plasma based experiment. A gamma photon beam produced by a laser wakefie…
