Microcoulomb-level electron beam and multi-Joule hard X-rays driven by a high-efficiency laser-plasma accelerator
B. Mahieu, L. Ribotte, W. Cayzac +38
We report on the production of ultrahigh-charge relativistic electron beams and the development of a laser-wakefield acceleration platform at the LMJ facility. Making use of the ki…
Acceleration of collimated 45 MeV protons by collisionless shocks driven in low-density, large-scale gradient plasmas by a 10^20 W/cm^2, 1 micron wavelength laser
P. Antici, E. Boella, S. N. Chen +17
A new type of proton acceleration stemming from large-scale gradients, low-density targets, irradiated by an intense near-infrared laser is observed. The produced protons are chara…
GeV electrons due to a transition from laser wakefield acceleration to plasma wakefield acceleration
P. E. Masson-Laborde, M. Z. Mo, A. Ali +6
We show through experiments that a transition from laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) regime to a plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) regime can drive electrons up to energies cl…
Tabletop imaging of structural evolutions in chemical reactions
Heide Ibrahim, Benji Wales, Samuel Beaulieu +10
The introduction of femto-chemistry has made it a primary goal to follow the nuclear and electronic evolution of a molecule in time and space as it undergoes a chemical reaction. U…
Quasi-monoenergetic electron beams production in a sharp density transition
S. Fourmaux, K. Ta Phuoc, P. Lassonde +5
Using a laser plasma accelerator, experiments with a 80 TW and 30 fs laser pulse demonstrated quasi-monoenergetic electron spectra with maximum energy over 0.4 GeV. This is achieve…
Single shot phase contrast imaging using laser-produced Betatron x-ray beams
S. Fourmaux, S. Corde, K. Ta Phuoc +8
Development of x-ray phase contrast imaging applications with a laboratory scale source have been limited by the long exposure time needed to obtain one image. We demonstrate, usin…
