Experimental demonstration of Flying-Focus enhanced Thomson scattering
E. Gerstmayr, C. Mariani, R. Fitzgarrald +23
We report the experimental demonstration of a spatiotemporally engineered "Flying-Focus" laser pulse for enhanced x-ray generation in relativistic Thomson scattering. A combination…
Input to the ESPPU: The LUXE Experiment
H. Abramowicz, M. Almanza Soto, M. Altarelli +130
This document presents an overview of LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine the high-quality and high-energy electron beam of the European XFEL with a h…
Single-pulse Gy-scale irradiation of biological cells at Gy/s average dose-rates from a laser-wakefield accelerator
C. A. McAnespie, P. Chaudhary, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We report on the first experimental characterization of a laser-wakefield accelerator able to deliver, in a single pulse, doses in excess of \unit[1]{Gy} on timescales of the order…
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…
Observation of quantum effects on radiation reaction in strong fields
Eva E. Los, Elias Gerstmayr, Christopher Arran +28
Radiation reaction, the force experienced by an accelerated charge due to radiation emission, has long been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental research. Experime…
A Bayesian Framework to Investigate Radiation Reaction in Strong Fields
E. E. Los, C. Arran, E. Gerstmayr +5
Recent experiments aiming to measure phenomena predicted by strong field quantum electrodynamics have done so by colliding relativistic electron beams and high-power lasers. In suc…
Laser-driven electron source suitable for single-shot Gy-scale irradiation of biological cells at dose-rates exceeding Gy/s
C. A. McAnespie, P. Chaudhary, L. Calvin +5
We report on the first systematic characterisation of a tuneable laser-driven electron source capable of delivering Gy-scale doses in a duration of 10 - 20 ps, thus reaching unprec…
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…
Experimental characterisation of a single-shot spectrometer for high-flux, GeV-scale gamma-ray beams
N. Cavanagh, K. Fleck, M. J. V. Streeter +13
We report on the first experimental characterisation of a gamma-ray spectrometer designed to spectrally resolve high-flux photon beams with energies in the GeV range. The spectrome…
Narrow bandwidth, low-emittance positron beams from a laser-wakefield accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, C. Colgan, N. Cavanagh +15
The rapid progress that plasma wakefield accelerators are experiencing is now posing the question as to whether they could be included in the design of the next generation of high-…
Characterisation of Laser Wakefield Acceleration Efficiency with Octave Spanning Near-IR Spectrum Measurements
M. J. V. Streeter, Y. Ma, B. Kettle +25
We report on experimental measurements of energy transfer efficiencies in a GeV-class laser wakefield accelerator. Both the transfer of energy from the laser to the plasma wakefiel…
Measuring fast electron spectra and laser absorption in relativistic laser-solid interactions using differential bremsstrahlung photon detectors
R. H. H. Scott, E. L. Clark, F. Perez +9
A photon detector suitable for the measurement of bremsstrahlung spectra generated in relativistically-intense laser-solid interactions is described. The Monte Carlo techniques use…
