Laser-intensity-spike-dominated hot electron generation from two-plasmon decay instability driven by moderate-bandwidth pulses
C. Yao, Z. H. Cai, X. Wang +34
Our direct-drive-relevant experiments on the low-coherence Kunwu laser facility identify two-plasmon decay (TPD) as the primary source of hot electrons, and demonstrate for the fir…

All-optical GeV electron bunch generation in a laser-plasma accelerator via truncated-channel injection
A. Picksley, J. Chappell, E. Archer +10
We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a drive pulse guided by an all-optical plasma channel. We use th…
