Bayesian Optimization of Laser-Wakefield Acceleration via Spectral Pulse Shaping
B. Z. DjordjeviÄ, C. Benedetti, A. D. McNaughton +7
In this paper, we investigate the effect of spectral pulse shaping of the laser driver on the performance of channel-guided, laser-plasma accelerators. The study was carried out wi…

Longitudinal tapering in meter-scale gas jets for increased efficiency of laser plasma accelerators
R. Li, A. Picksley, C. Benedetti +10
Modern laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) often require plasma waveguides tens of cm long to propagate a high-intensity drive laser pulse. Tapering the longitudinal gas density profi…
