Photon Phase-Space Dynamics in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
Neil Beri, John Palastro, Qian Qian +3
Frequency up-shifting of laser light in a beam-driven plasma wakefield has the potential to provide high-intensity sources of short wavelength radiation. Simulations have demonstra…
Photon Accelerator in Magnetized Electron-Ion Plasma
Sergei Bulanov, Stepan Bulanov, Timur Esirkepov +6
Strong magnetic fields and plasmas are intrinsically linked in both terrestrial laboratory experiments and in space phenomena. One of the most profound consequences of that is the…
Optimized matching conditions for self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
P. Valenta, K. G. Miller, B. K. Russell +4
We revisit the matching conditions for self-guided laser pulse propagation in plasma and refine their formulation to maximize the energy of electrons produced via laser wakefield a…
Reaching extreme fields in laser-electron beam collisions with XUV laser light
Brandon K. Russell, Christopher P. Ridgers, Stepan S. Bulanov +8
Plasma-based particle accelerators promise to extend the revolutionary work performed with conventional particle accelerators to studies with smaller footprints, lower costs, and h…
