Electron injection and acceleration into laser-driven wakefield from a solid overdense plasma target
M. Caetano de Sousa, S. Marini, M. Grech +3
A laser-plasma acceleration scheme combining electron extraction from a solid overdense target with wakefield acceleration in an adjacent underdense plasma region is presented. A l…
Physics-Guided Deep Learning For High Resolution X-ray Imaging
Shao Xian Lee, Aashwin Ananda Mishra, Ariel Arnott +21
Imperfections in X-ray imaging systems can limit their performance, especially in High Energy Density (HED) or Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE)-relevant experiments that are typically…
Properties of Pair Plasmas Emerging from Electromagnetic Showers in Matter
M. Pouyez, G. Nicotera, M. Galbiati +4
Electromagnetic showers from high-energy electron beams interacting with a target are a promising path to creating pair plasmas in the laboratory. Here, we solve analytically the k…
Testing strong-field QED with the avalanche precursor
A. A. Mironov, S. S. Bulanov, A. Di Piazza +8
A two-beam high-power laser facility is essential for the study of one of the most captivating phenomena predicted by strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) and yet unobserved…
