Bright X-ray radiation from plasma bubbles in an evolving laser wakefield accelerator
M. S. Bloom, M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip +17
We show that the properties of the electron beam and bright x-rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator can be predicted if the distance over which the laser self-focuses and…
Observation of Laser Power Amplification in a Self-Injecting Laser Wakefield Accelerator
M. J. V. Streeter, S. Kneip, M. S. Bloom +17
We report on the depletion and power amplification of the driving laser pulse in a strongly-driven laser wakefield accelerator. Simultaneous measurement of the transmitted pulse en…
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…
The self-injection threshold in self-guided laser wakefield accelerators
Stuart P. D. Mangles, Guillaume Genoud, Michael S. Bloom +6
A laser pulse traveling through a plasma can excite large amplitude plasma waves that can be used to accelerate relativistic electron beams in a very short distance---a technique c…
Tuning the electron energy by controlling the density perturbation position in laser plasma accelerators
P. Brijesh, C. Thaury, K. Ta Phuoc +6
A density perturbation produced in an underdense plasma was used to improve the quality of electron bunches produced in the laser-plasma wakefield acceleration scheme. Quasi-monoen…
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…
