Generation of dense relativistic electron beams via vortex laser-driven self-generated magnetic pinching
Mingxuan Wei, Fengyu Sun, Zhongpeng Li +21
In multi-petawatt laser plasma accelerators, achieving high-density relativistic electron beams is typically accompanied by large transverse divergence, limiting the attainable eff…
Collimated Hard X-Rays from Hybrid Laser and Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
Hong Zhang, Jianmeng Wei, Mengyuan Chu +21
We report a synergistic enhancement of betatron radiation based on the hybrid laser and plasma wakefield acceleration scheme. Quasi-phase-stable acceleration in an up-ramp plasma d…
Enhanced Proton Acceleration via Petawatt Laguerre-Gaussian Lasers
Wenpeng Wang, Xinyue Sun, Fengyu Sun +13
High-energy, high-flux collimated proton beams with high repetition rates are critical for applications such as proton therapy, proton radiography, high-energy-density matter gener…
First Proof of Principle Experiment for Muon Production with Ultrashort High Intensity Laser
Feng Zhang, Li Deng, Yanjie Ge +26
Muons, which play a crucial role in both fundamental and applied physics, have traditionally been generated through proton accelerators or from cosmic rays. With the advent of ultr…
