Transversely pumped laser driven particle accelerator
Tanner Nutting, Nicholas Ernst, Alexander G. R. Thomas +1
We present a new acceleration scheme capable of accelerating electrons and ions in an underdense plasma. Transversely Pumped Acceleration (TPA) uses multiple arrays of counter-prop…
Orbital angular momentum enhanced laser absorption and neutron generation
Nicholas Peskosky, Nicholas Ernst, Miloš Burger +5
We experimentally demonstrate enhanced absorption of near relativistic optical vortex beams in plasmas to generate a record fast-neutron yield of …
Extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort pulse laboratory-scale laser-plasma accelerator
B. Kettle, C. Colgan, E. Los +21
Laser-driven compact particle accelerators can provide ultrashort pulses of broadband X-rays, well suited for undertaking X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements on a femtosecon…
Longitudinal Ion Acceleration from High-Intensity Laser Interactions with Underdense Plasma
L. Willingale, S. P. D. Mangles, P. M Nilson +11
Longitudinal ion acceleration from high-intensity (I ~ 10^20 Wcm^-2) laser interactions with helium gas jet targets (n_e ~ 0.04 n_c) have been observed. The ion beam has a maximum…
The Effect of Laser Focusing Conditions on Propagation and Monoenergetic Electron Production in Laser Wakefield Accelerators
A. G. R. Thomas, Z. Najmudin, S. P. D. Mangles +8
The effect of laser focusing conditions on the evolution of relativistic plasma waves in laser wakefield accelerators is studied both experimentally and with particle-in-cell simul…
