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…
Coherent control of plasma dynamics
Z. -H. He, B. Hou, V. Lebailly +3
Coherent control of a system involves steering an interaction to a final coherent state by controlling the phase of an applied field. Plasmas support coherent wave structures that…
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…
Pair Creation in QED-Strong Pulsed Laser Fields Interacting with Electron Beams
Igor V. Sokolov, Natalia M. Naumova, John A. Nees +1
QED-effects are known to occur in a strong laser pulse interaction with a counter-propagating electron beam, among these effects being electron-positron pair creation. We discuss t…
Emission and its back-reaction accompanying electron motion in relativistically strong and QED-strong pulsed laser fields
Igor V. Sokolov, John A. Nees, Victor P. Yanovsky +2
The emission from an electron in the field of a relativistically strong laser pulse is analyzed. At pulse intensities of J > 2 10^22 W/cm2 the emission from counter-propagating ele…
