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…
