Plasma lenses for ultrashort multi-petawatt laser pulses
J. P. Palastro, D. Gordon, B. Hafizi +5
An ideal plasma lens can provide the focusing power of a small f-number, solid-state focusing optic at a fraction of the diameter. An ideal plasma lens, however, relies on a steady…
Accelerated Ions from a Laser Driven Z-pinch
Michael H. Helle, Daniel F. Gordon, Dmitri Kaganovich +3
Intense laser acceleration of ions is inherently difficult due to the velocity mismatch between laser pulses moving at the speed of light and slowly moving massive ions. Instead of…
Enhanced betatron X-rays from axially modulated plasma wakefields
J. P. Palastro, D. Kaganovich, D. Gordon
In the cavitation regime of plasma-based accelerators, a population of high-energy electrons tailing the driver can undergo betatron motion. The motion results in X-ray emission, b…
