The Unexpected Role of Evolving Longitudinal Electric Fields in Generating Energetic Electrons in Relativistically Transparent Plasmas
L. Willingale, A. V. Arefiev, G. J. Williams +9
Superponderomotive-energy electrons are observed experimentally from the interaction of an intense laser pulse with a relativistically transparent target. For a relativistically tr…
Observation and control of shock waves in individual nanoplasmas
Daniel D. Hickstein, Franklin Dollar, Jim A. Gaffney +11
In a novel experiment that images the momentum distribution of individual, isolated 100-nm-scale plasmas, we make the first experimental observation of shock waves in nanoplasmas.…
Non-invasive characterization of transverse beam emittance of electrons from a laser-plasma wakefield accelerator in the bubble regime using betatron x-ray radiation
S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins +17
We propose and use a technique to measure the transverse emittance of a laser-wakefield accelerated beam of relativistic electrons. The technique is based on the simultaneous measu…
A Bright Spatially-Coherent Compact X-ray Synchrotron Source
S. Kneip, C. McGuffey, J. L. Martins +19
Each successive generation of x-ray machines has opened up new frontiers in science, such as the first radiographs and the determination of the structure of DNA. State-of-the-art x…
