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…
Transverse orbital angular momentum of amplitude-perturbed fields
S. W. Hancock, N. Tripathi, M. S. Le +2
We measure the change in transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) per photon, delta L_y, applied to an optical pulse by a pure amplitude perturbation. The results are in excellen…
Remote detection of radioactive material using a short pulse CO2 laser
A. Zingale, S. Waczynski, I. Pogorelsky +4
Detection of radioactive material at distances greater than the radiated particle range is an important goal with applications in areas such as national defense and disaster respon…
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…
Self-focused pulse propagation is mediated by spatiotemporal optical vortices
M. S. Le, G. A. Hine, A. Goffin +2
We show that the dynamics of high-intensity laser pulses undergoing self-focused propagation in a nonlinear medium can be understood in terms of the topological constraints imposed…
