Probing electron acceleration and X-ray emission in laser-plasma accelerator
C. Thaury, K. Ta Phuoc, S. Corde +6
While laser-plasma accelerators have demonstrated a strong potential in the acceleration of electrons up to giga-electronvolt energies, few experimental tools for studying the acce…
Observation of longitudinal and transverse self-injections in laser-plasma accelerators
S. Corde, C. Thaury, A. Lifschitz +7
Laser-plasma accelerators can produce high quality electron beams, up to giga-electronvolts in energy, from a centimeter scale device. The properties of the electron beams and the…
Angular momentum evolution in laser-plasma accelerators
C. Thaury, E. Guillaume, S. Corde +7
The transverse properties of an electron beam are characterized by two quantities, the emittance which indicates the electron beam extend in the phase space and the angular momentu…
Femtosecond x rays from laser-plasma accelerators
S. Corde, K. Ta Phuoc, A. Beck +5
Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas has recently led to the emergence of a novel generation of femtosecond x-ray sources. Based on radiation from…
All-optical Compton gamma-ray source
K. Ta Phuoc, S. Corde, C. Thaury +6
One of the major goals of research for laser-plasma accelerators is the realization of compact sources of femtosecond X-rays. In particular, using the modest electron energies obta…
