Formation of collisionless shocks in magnetized plasma interaction with kinetic-scale obstacles
F. Cruz, E. P. Alves, R. A. Bamford +3
We investigate the formation of collisionless magnetized shocks triggered by the interaction between magnetized plasma flows and miniature-sized (order of plasma kinetic-scales) ma…
Essential criteria for efficient pulse amplification via Raman and Brillouin scattering
R. M. G. M. Trines, E. P. Alves, E. Webb +14
Raman and Brillouin amplification are two schemes for amplifying and compressing short laser pulses in plasma. Analytical models have already been derived for both schemes, but the…
High orbital angular momentum harmonic generation
J. Vieira, R. M. G. M. Trines, E. P. Alves +5
We identify and explore a high orbital angular momentum (OAM) harmonics generation and amplification mechanism that manipulates the OAM independently of any other laser property, b…
AWAKE, The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment at CERN
E. Gschwendtner, E. Adli, L. Amorim +88
The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) aims at studying plasma wakefield generation and electron acceleration driven by proton bunches. It is a…
Path to AWAKE: Evolution of the concept
A. Caldwell, E. Adli, L. Amorim +118
This report describes the conceptual steps in reaching the design of the AWAKE experiment currently under construction at CERN. We start with an introduction to plasma wakefield ac…
Boosting the performance of Brillouin amplification at sub-quarter-critical densities via reduction of parasitic Raman scattering
R. M. G. M. Trines, E. P. Alves, K. A. Humphrey +6
Raman and Brillouin amplification of laser pulses in plasma have been shown to produce picosecond pulses of petawatt power. In previous studies, filamentation of the probe pulse ha…
