Learning Electron Bunch Distribution along a FEL Beamline by Normalising Flows
Anna Willmann, Jurjen Couperus Cabadağ, Yen-Yu Chang +7
Understanding and control of Laser-driven Free Electron Lasers remain to be difficult problems that require highly intensive experimental and theoretical research. The gap between…
Stable and high quality electron beams from staged laser and plasma wakefield accelerators
F. M. Foerster, A. Döpp, F. Haberstroh +24
We present experimental results on a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) driven by high-current electron beams from a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA). In this staged setup stabl…
Two-Pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator
B. Bowers, M. LaBerge, A. Koehler +10
We present methods and preliminary observations of two pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator. This acceleration mechanism uses a second co-propagatin…
Nonlinear Inverse Compton Scattering from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator and Plasma Mirror
A. Hannasch, M. LaBerge, R. Zgadzaj +7
We generate inverse Compton scattered X-rays in both linear and nonlinear regimes with a 250 MeV laser wakefield electron accelerator and plasma mirror by retro-reflecting the unus…
Spectral and spatial shaping of laser-driven proton beams using a pulsed high-field magnet beamline
Florian-Emanuel Brack, Florian Kroll, Lennart Gaus +17
Intense laser-driven proton pulses, inherently broadband and highly divergent, pose a challenge to established beamline concepts on the path to application-adapted irradiation fiel…
Restoring betatron phase coherence in a beam-loaded laser-wakefield accelerator
A. Köhler, R. Pausch, M. Bussmann +7
Matched beam loading in laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), characterizing the state of flattening of the acceleration electric field along the bunch, leads to the minimization of…
Hybrid LWFA PWFA Staging as a Beam Energy and Brightness Transformer : Conceptual Design and Simulations
A. Martinez de la Ossa, R. W. Aßmann, R. Bussmann +16
We present a conceptual design for a hybrid laser-to-beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator. In this setup, the output beams from a laser-driven plasma wakefield accelerator (LWF…
Observations of Coherent Optical Transition Radiation Interference Fringes Generated by Laser Plasma Accelerator Electron Beamlets
Alex Lumpkin, Maxwell LaBerge, Donald Rule +10
We report initial observations of coherent optical transition radiation interferometry (COTRI) patterns generated by microbunched electrons from laser-driven plasma accelerators (L…
Direct observation of plasma waves and dynamics induced by laser-accelerated electron beams
M. F. Gilljohann, H. Ding, A. Döpp +14
Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is a novel acceleration technique with promising prospects for both particle colliders and light sources. However, PWFA research has so far bee…
In Situ Characterisation of Permanent Magnetic Quadrupoles for focussing proton beams
J. J. Melone, K. W. D. Ledingham, T. McCanny +10
High intensity laser driven proton beams are at present receiving much attention. The reasons for this are many but high on the list is the potential to produce compact accelerator…
Design considerations for table-top, laser-based VUV and X-ray free electron lasers
F. Grüner, S. Becker, U. Schramm +12
A recent breakthrough in laser-plasma accelerators, based upon ultrashort high-intensity lasers, demonstrated the generation of quasi-monoenergetic GeV-electrons. With future Petaw…
