Direct observation of the injection dynamics of a laser wakefield accelerator using few-femtosecond shadowgraphy
A. Sävert, S. P. D. Mangles, M. Schnell +13
We present few-femtosecond shadowgraphic snapshots taken during the non-linear evolution of the plasma wave in a laser wakefield accelerator with transverse synchronized few-cycle…

Thomson backscattering from laser generated, relativistically moving high-density electron layers
Athena E. Paz, Stephan Kuschel, Christian Rödel +4
We show experimentally that XUV radiation is produced when a laser pulse is Thomson backscattered from sheets of relativistic electrons which are formed at the rear-surface of a fo…
