Single-Shot High-Energy Muon and Particle Radiography with a Multi-GeV Laser-Wakefield-Accelerator-Driven Source
Kaixin Zhu, G. Jackson Williams, Roberto Versaci +29
We report the first demonstration of single-shot particle radiography using a 1-10 GeV laser-wakefield-generated beam of muons, pions, and neutrons. The test objects were imaged ~1…
RPC Telescope Tests for Muon Detection at Laser-Plasma Accelerators
Sumaira Ikram, Maxime Lagrange, Donya Ahmadi +10
We report on a feasibility study conducted at the ELBA facility at ELI Beamlines in 2025 to investigate the possible production of muons from high-energy electron beams generated b…
Plasma waveguides for high-intensity laser pulses
J. E. Shrock, B. Miao, E. Rockafellow +1
Fundamental to many applications of laser pulses in science and technology is an extended interaction length with matter that significantly exceeds the distance over which the puls…
High-repetition-rate, all-reflective optical guiding and electron acceleration in helium using an off-axis axicon
Jiří Šišma, Michal Nevrkla, Filip Vitha +17
We present recent results on high-power guiding and laser wakefield acceleration in the ELectron Beam Accelerator (ELBA) beamline at ELI Beamlines, using the L3-HAPLS laser system…
Excitation of Giant Surface Waves During Laser Wake Field Acceleration
Travis Garrett, Christopher Pieronek, E. Rockafellow +7
We have detected the presence of very high intensity surface waves that are excited during plasma waveguided laser wakefield acceleration. Wakefield acceleration can be enchanced b…
Longitudinal shaping of plasma waveguides using diffractive axicons for laser wakefield acceleration
N. Tripathi, B. Miao, A. Sloss +4
New techniques for the optical generation of plasma waveguides -- optical fibres for ultra-intense light pulses -- have become vital to the advancement of multi-GeV laser wakefield…
Meter-scale supersonic gas jets for multi-GeV laser-plasma accelerators
B. Miao, J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow +2
Pushing the high energy frontier of laser wakefield electron acceleration (LWFA) to 10 GeV and beyond requires extending the propagation of relativistic intensity pulses to ~1 m in…
Measurement of directional muon beams generated at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator
Davide Terzani, Stanimir Kisyov, Stephen Greenberg +20
We present the detection of directional muon beams produced using a PW laser at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The muon source is a multi-GeV electron beam generated in…
Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators
A. Picksley, J. Stackhouse, C. Benedetti +12
We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high qual…
Benchmarking of hydrodynamic plasma waveguides for multi-GeV laser-driven electron acceleration
B. Miao, E. Rockafellow, J. E. Shrock +3
Hydrodynamic plasma waveguides initiated by optical field ionization (OFI) have recently become a key component of multi-GeV laser wakefield accelerators. Here, we present the most…
Guided mode evolution and ionization injection in meter-scale multi-GeV laser wakefield accelerators
J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow, B. Miao +7
We show that laser wakefield electron accelerators in meter-scale, low density hydrodynamic plasma waveguides operate in a new nonlinear propagation regime where sustained beating…
