Ultrafast Imaging of Laser Driven Shock Waves using Betatron X-rays from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator
J. C. Wood, D. J. Chapman, K. Poder +21
Betatron radiation from laser wakefield accelerators is an ultrashort pulsed source of hard, synchrotron-like x-ray radiation. It emanates from a centimetre scale plasma accelerato…
General features of experiments on the dynamics of laser-driven electron-positron beams
J. R. Warwick, A. Alejo, T. Dzelzainis +14
The experimental study of the dynamics of neutral electron-positron beams is an emerging area of research, enabled by the recent results on the generation of this exotic state of m…
Experimental observation of a current-driven instability in a neutral electron-positron beam
J. Warwick, T. Dzelzainis, M. E. Dieckmann +16
We report on the first experimental observation of a current-driven instability developing in a quasi-neutral matter-antimatter beam. Strong magnetic fields ( 1 T) are measur…
Relativistic electron streaming instabilities modulate proton beams accelerated in laser-plasma interactions
S. Göde, C. Rödel, K. Zeil +16
We report experimental evidence that multi-MeV protons accelerated in relativistic laser-plasma interactions are modulated by strong filamentary electromagnetic fields. Modulations…
Femtosecond-scale Synchronisation of Ultra-Intense Focused Laser Beams
D. J. Corvan, W. Schumaker, J. Cole +10
Synchronising ultra-short (~fs) and focussed laser pulses is a particularly difficult task, as this timescale lies orders of magnitude below the typical range of fast electronic de…
Ultra-high brilliance multi-MeV -ray beam from non-linear Thomson scattering
G. Sarri, D. J. Corvan, W. Schumaker +13
We report on the generation of a narrow divergence ( mrad), multi-MeV ( MeV) and ultra-high brilliance ( photons s m…
