A Renewable Double Plasma Mirror For Petawatt-class Lasers
Nick Czapla, Derek M. Nasir, Lieselotte Obst-Huebl +9
Exceptional pulse contrast can be critical for ultraintense laser experiments, particularly when using solid density targets, and their use is becoming widespread. However, current…
Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators
A. Picksley, J. Stackhouse, C. Benedetti +12
We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high qual…
A high-intensity laser-based positron source
S. S. Bulanov, C. Benedetti, D. Terzani +4
Plasma based acceleration is considered a promising concept for the next generation of linear electron-positron colliders. Despite the great progress achieved over last twenty year…
Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping
S. G. Rykovanov, C. G. R. Geddes, C. B. Schroeder +2
Effects of nonlinearity in Thomson scattering of a high intensity laser pulse from electrons are analyzed. Analytic expressions for laser pulse shaping in amplitude and frequency a…
Quasi-monoenergetic femtosecond photon sources from Thomson Scattering using laser plasma accelerators and plasma channels
S. G. Rykovanov, C. G. R. Geddes, J. -L. Vay +3
Narrow bandwidth, high energy photon sources can be generated by Thomson scattering of laser light from energetic electrons, and detailed control of the interaction is needed to pr…
Plasma wakefield excitation by incoherent laser pulses: a path towards high-average power laser-plasma accelerators
C. Benedetti, C. B. Schroeder, E. Esarey +1
In a laser plasma accelerator (LPA), a short and intense laser pulse propagating in a plasma drives a wakefield (a plasma wave with a relativistic phase velocity) that can sustain…
