Experimental evidence of production of directional muons from a laser-wakefield accelerator
L. Calvin, E. Gerstmayr, C. Arran +19
We report on experimental evidence of the generation of directional muons from a laser-wakefield accelerator driven by a PW-class laser. The muons were generated following the inte…

High brightness multi-MeV photon source driven by a petawatt-scale laser wakefield accelerator
E. Gerstmayr, B. Kettle, M. J. V. Streeter +16
We present an experimental demonstration of a bright multi-MeV gamma source driven by a petawatt laser. The source generates on average photons above 1 MeV…
