Stable Positron Acceleration in Thin, Warm, Hollow Plasma Channels
T. Silva, L. D. Amorim, M. C. Downer +4
Hollow plasma channels are attractive for lepton acceleration because they provide intrinsic emittance preservation regimes. However, beam breakup instabilities dominate the dynami…
MP3 White Paper 2021 -- Research Opportunities Enabled by Co-locating Multi-Petawatt Lasers with Dense Ultra-Relativistic Electron Beams
Sebastian Meuren, David A. Reis, Roger Blandford +11
Novel emergent phenomena are expected to occur under conditions exceeding the QED critical electric field, where the vacuum becomes unstable to electron-positron pair production. T…
Generation of terawatt, attosecond pulses from relativistic transition radiation
Xinlu Xu, David B. Cesar, Sébastien Corde +5
When a fs duration and hundreds of kA peak current electron beam traverses the vacuum and high-density plasma interface a new process, that we call relativistic transition radiatio…
All-optical density downramp injection in electron-driven plasma wakefield accelerators
D. Ullmann, P. Scherkl, A. Knetsch +16
Injection of well-defined, high-quality electron populations into plasma waves is a key challenge of plasma wakefield accelerators. Here, we report on the first experimental demons…
On Seminal HEDP Research Opportunities Enabled by Colocating Multi-Petawatt Laser with High-Density Electron Beams
Sebastian Meuren, Phil H. Bucksbaum, Nathaniel J. Fisch +7
The scientific community is currently witnessing an expensive and worldwide race to achieve the highest possible light intensity. Within the next decade this effort is expected to…
On the Prospect of Studying Nonperturbative QED with Beam-Beam Collisions
V. Yakimenko, S. Meuren, F. Del Gaudio +8
We demonstrate the possibility of probing for the first time the fully nonperturbative regime of quantum electrodynamics. By using tightly compressed and focused electron beams in…
