The Propulsion Performance of Dual Heaving Foils in Tandem, with Spanwise Flexibility
Wendi Liu, Alex Skillen, Wei Wang +2
The impact of spanwise flexibility on the propulsion performance of two foils arranged in tandem and subjected to a prescribed sinusoidal heaving motion has been studied at a Reyno…

Resonant excitation of plasma waves in a plasma channel
Aimee J. Ross, James Chappell, Johannes J. van de Wetering +14
We demonstrate resonant excitation of a plasma wave by a train of short laser pulses guided in a pre-formed plasma channel, for parameters relevant to a plasma-modulated plasma acc…

All-optical GeV electron bunch generation in a laser-plasma accelerator via truncated-channel injection
A. Picksley, J. Chappell, E. Archer +10
We describe a simple scheme, truncated-channel injection, to inject electrons directly into the wakefield driven by a drive pulse guided by an all-optical plasma channel. We use th…
