Meter-scale supersonic gas jets for multi-GeV laser-plasma accelerators

B. Miao, J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow +2

Pushing the high energy frontier of laser wakefield electron acceleration (LWFA) to 10 GeV and beyond requires extending the propagation of relativistic intensity pulses to ~1 m in…

Remote detection of radioactive material using a short pulse CO2 laser

A. Zingale, S. Waczynski, I. Pogorelsky +4

Detection of radioactive material at distances greater than the radiated particle range is an important goal with applications in areas such as national defense and disaster respon…

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…

Self-focused pulse propagation is mediated by spatiotemporal optical vortices

M. S. Le, G. A. Hine, A. Goffin +2

We show that the dynamics of high-intensity laser pulses undergoing self-focused propagation in a nonlinear medium can be understood in terms of the topological constraints imposed…

Guided mode evolution and ionization injection in meter-scale multi-GeV laser wakefield accelerators

J. E. Shrock, E. Rockafellow, B. Miao +7

We show that laser wakefield electron accelerators in meter-scale, low density hydrodynamic plasma waveguides operate in a new nonlinear propagation regime where sustained beating…

Spatiotemporal torquing of light

S. W. Hancock, S. Zahedpour, A. Goffin +1

We demonstrate the controlled spatiotemporal transfer of transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to electromagnetic waves: the spatiotemporal torquing of light. This is a radical…
