High repetition rate (>= kHz) targets and optics from liquid microjets for the study and application of high intensity laser-plasma interactions

K. M. George, J. T. Morrison, S. Feister +11

High intensity laser-plasma interactions produce a wide array of energetic particles and beams with promising applications. Unfortunately, high repetition rate and high average pow…

Capturing Structural Dynamics in Crystalline Silicon Using Chirped Electrons from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator

Z. -H He, B. Beaurepaire, J. A. Nees +7

Recent progress in laser wakefield acceleration has led to the emergence of a new generation of electron and X-ray sources that may have enormous benefits for ultrafast science. Th…

A Novel Femtosecond-Gated, High-Resolution, Frequency-Shifted Shearing Interferometry Technique for Probing Pre-Plasma Expansion in Ultra-Intense Laser Experiments

S. Feister, J. A. Nees, J. T. Morrison +4

Ultra-intense laser-matter interaction experiments (>10 W/cm) with dense targets are highly sensitive to the effect of laser "noise" (in the form of pre-pulses) preced…

Backward-Propagating MeV Electrons in Ultra-Intense Laser Interactions: Standing Wave Acceleration and Coupling to the Reflected Laser Pulse

Chris Orban, John T. Morrison, Enam D. Chowdhury +4

Laser-accelerated electron beams have been created at a kHz repetition rate from the {\it reflection} of intense ( W/cm), 40 fs laser pulses focused on a con…
