Microcoulomb-level electron beam and multi-Joule hard X-rays driven by a high-efficiency laser-plasma accelerator
B. Mahieu, L. Ribotte, W. Cayzac +38
We report on the production of ultrahigh-charge relativistic electron beams and the development of a laser-wakefield acceleration platform at the LMJ facility. Making use of the ki…
Predominant Contribution of Direct Laser Acceleration to High-Energy Electron Spectra in a Low-Density Self-Modulated Laser Wakefield Accelerator
P. M. King, K. Miller, N. Lemos +12
The two-temperature relativistic electron spectrum from a low-density (~cm) self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator (SM-LWFA) is observed to transition be…
Single-shot multi-keV X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort laser wakefield accelerator source
B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr, M. J. V. Streeter +19
Single-shot absorption measurements have been performed using the multi-keV X-rays generated by a laser wakefield accelerator. A 200 TW laser was used to drive a laser wakefield ac…
Collisionless shock acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams from mixed species plasmas using 1 m lasers
A. Pak, S. Kerr, N. Lemos +15
Collisionless shock acceleration of protons and C ions has been achieved by the interaction of a 10 W/cm, 1 m laser with a near-critical density plasma. Ablati…
Self-modulated laser wakefield accelerators as x-ray sources
N. Lemos, J. L. Martins, F. S. Tsung +5
The development of a directional, small-divergence, and short-duration picosecond x-ray probe beam with an energy greater than 50 keV is desirable for high energy density science e…
Estimation of direct laser acceleration in laser wakefield accelerators using particle-in-cell simulations
J. L. Shaw, N. Lemos, K. A. Marsh +3
Many current laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) experiments are carried out in a regime where the laser pulse length is on the order of or longer than the wake wavelength and wher…
