Energy-resolved measurement of individual GeV muon tracks generated by electrons from a compact Laser-Plasma Accelerator
Davide Terzani, Luc Le Pottier, Stanimir Kisyov +17
Recently, the possibility of LPA-produced muon beams has gained significant interest within the accelerator application community. Directional, multi-GeV muons can be produced via…
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…
Radiation damage to normal mammalian tissue in vivo with laser-driven protons at ultra-high instantaneous dose rate
Lieselotte Obst-Huebl, Jamie L. Inman, Jared De Chant +12
The differential sparing of normal tissues relative to tumor control observed at ultra-high dose rates, referred to as the FLASH effect, has recently gained considerable attention.…
Stability and optical quality of "windmill"-formed 8CB liquid crystal films for replenishable plasma mirrors
A. Vazquez, A. Jewell, M. Cole +16
Liquid crystal (LC) film plasma mirrors (PMs) based on 4-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) are an enabling technology for reflecting high-fluence laser pulses. These freestanding LC fil…
Measurement of directional muon beams generated at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator
Davide Terzani, Stanimir Kisyov, Stephen Greenberg +20
We present the detection of directional muon beams produced using a PW laser at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The muon source is a multi-GeV electron beam generated in…
Design Optimization of Permanent-Magnet Based Compact Transport Systems for Laser-Driven Proton Beams
Jared T. De Chant, Kei Nakamura, Qing Ji +8
Laser-driven (LD) ion acceleration has been explored in a newly constructed short focal length beamline at the BELLA petawatt facility (interaction point 2, iP2). For applications…
Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators
A. Picksley, J. Stackhouse, C. Benedetti +12
We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high qual…
The Next Generation of MeV Energy X-ray Sources for use in the Inspection of Additively Manufactured Parts for Industry
C. Thornton, S. Karimi, S. Glenn +15
For the first time, we demonstrate the application of an inverse Compton scattering X-ray Source, driven by a laser-plasma accelerator, to image an additively manufactured componen…
Beam Delivery and Beamstrahlung Considerations for Ultra-High Energy Linear Colliders
Tim Barklow, Spencer Gessner, Mark Hogan +27
As part of the Snowmass'21 community planning excercise, the Advanced Accelerator Concepts (AAC) community proposed future linear colliders with center-of-mass energies up to 15 Te…
Carbon nanotube substrates enhance SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ion yields in matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry
T. Schenkel, A. M. Snijders, K. Nakamura +15
Nanostructured surfaces enhance ion yields in matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). The spike protein complex, S1, is one fingerprint signature…
Whitepaper submitted to Snowmass21: Advanced accelerator linear collider demonstration facility at intermediate energy
