Characterization and automated optimization of laser-driven proton beams from converging liquid sheet jet targets

G. D. Glenn, F. Treffert, H. Ahmed +31

Compact, stable, and versatile laser-driven ion sources hold great promise for applications ranging from medicine to materials science and fundamental physics. While single-shot so…

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 wakefiel…

Spatial characterization of debris ejection from the interaction of a tightly focused PW-laser pulse with metal targets

I. -M. Vladisavlevici, C. Vlachos, J. -L. Dubois +22

We present a novel scheme for rapid quantitative analysis of debris generated during experiments with solid targets following relativistic laser-plasma interaction at high-power la…

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…

Automated control and optimisation of laser driven ion acceleration

B. Loughran, M. J. V. Streeter, H. Ahmed +32

The interaction of relativistically intense lasers with opaque targets represents a highly non-linear, multi-dimensional parameter space. This limits the utility of sequential 1D s…

A laser-plasma platform for photon-photon physics

B. Kettle, D. Hollatz, E. Gerstmayr +35

We describe a laser-plasma platform for photon-photon collision experiments to measure fundamental quantum electrodynamic processes such as the linear Breit-Wheeler process with re…
