Plasma waveguides for high-intensity laser pulses
J. E. Shrock, B. Miao, E. Rockafellow +1
Fundamental to many applications of laser pulses in science and technology is an extended interaction length with matter that significantly exceeds the distance over which the puls…
Measurement of directional muon beams generated at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator
Davide Terzani, Stanimir Kisyov, Stephen Greenberg +20
We present the detection of directional muon beams produced using a PW laser at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The muon source is a multi-GeV electron beam generated in…
Excitation of Giant Surface Waves During Laser Wake Field Acceleration
Travis Garrett, Christopher Pieronek, E. Rockafellow +7
We have detected the presence of very high intensity surface waves that are excited during plasma waveguided laser wakefield acceleration. Wakefield acceleration can be enchanced b…
Longitudinal shaping of plasma waveguides using diffractive axicons for laser wakefield acceleration
N. Tripathi, B. Miao, A. Sloss +4
New techniques for the optical generation of plasma waveguides -- optical fibres for ultra-intense light pulses -- have become vital to the advancement of multi-GeV laser wakefield…
