Demonstration of a compact plasma accelerator powered by laser-accelerated electron beams
T. Kurz, T. Heinemann, M. F. Gilljohann +22
Plasma wakefield accelerators are capable of sustaining gigavolt-per-centimeter accelerating fields, surpassing the electric breakdown threshold in state-of-the-art accelerator mod…
Plasma-photonic spatiotemporal synchronization of relativistic electron and laser beams
Paul Scherkl, Alexander Knetsch, Thomas Heinemann +23
Modern particle accelerators and their applications increasingly rely on precisely coordinated interactions of intense charged particle and laser beams. Femtosecond-scale synchroni…
Probing Ultrafast Magnetic-Field Generation by Current Filamentation Instability in Femtosecond Relativistic Laser-Matter Interactions
G. Raj, O. Kononenko, A. Doche +28
We present experimental measurements of the femtosecond time-scale generation of strong magnetic-field fluctuations during the interaction of ultrashort, moderately relativistic la…
Electron bunch generation from a plasma photocathode
Aihua Deng, Oliver Karger, Thomas Heinemann +25
Plasma waves generated in the wake of intense, relativistic laser or particle beams can accelerate electron bunches to giga-electronvolt (GeV) energies in centimetre-scale distance…
Plasma Wakefield Accelerator Research 2019 - 2040: A community-driven UK roadmap compiled by the Plasma Wakefield Accelerator Steering Committee (PWASC)
Bernhard Hidding, Simon Hooker, Steven Jamison +9
The acceleration gradients generated in a laser- or beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator are typically three orders of magnitude greater than those produced by a conventional a…
Controlling injection using a magnetic field to produce sub-femtosecond bunches in the laser wakefield accelerator
Q. Zhao, S. M. Weng, M. Chen +5
It is shown that electron injection into a laser-driven plasma bubble can be manipulated by applying an external magnetic field in the presence of a plasma density gradient. The do…
