Electron Acceleration in a Flying-Focus Laser Wakefield Accelerator
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Slava Smartsev +3
Structured light pulses hold significant promise for their ability to overcome dephasing in laser-wakefield accelerators, that should facilitate applications in high-energy physics…
First Electron Acceleration in a Tunable-Velocity Laser Wakefield
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Slava Smartsev +3
We present the first experimental confirmation that a laser-wakefield accelerator produced by a flying focus pulse is able to maintain the coherent structures necessary to accelera…
Probing Flying-Focus Wakefields
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Sheroy Tata +2
Flying-focus wakefields, which can propagate with a tunable velocity along the optical axis, are promising solutions to electron dephasing in laser-wakefield accelerators. This is…
Start-to-end modelling of laser-plasma acceleration, beam transport and dose deposition of very high-energy electrons for radiotherapy
Rajakrishna Kalvala, Anton Golovanov, Arnaud Courvoisier +4
Radiotherapy using very high-energy electron (VHEE) beams generated by a laser-plasma accelerator has garnered significant interest due to its dose distribution capabilities and po…
First direct observation of a wakefield generated with structured light
Aaron Liberman, Anton Golovanov, Slava Smartsev +6
The use of structured light to control the phase velocity of the wake in laser-wakefield accelerators has generated significant interest for its ability to mitigate electron dephas…
