Laser-driven Collisionless Shock Acceleration of Ions from Near-critical plasmas
S. Tochitsky, A. Pak, F. Fiuza +5
This paper overviews experimental and numerical results on acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams by an electrostatic collisionless shockwave driven by 1 um (Omega EP) and…
High quality electron bunch generation using a longitudinal density-tailored plasma-based accelerator in the three-dimensional blowout regime
X. L. Xu, F. Li, W. An +4
The generation of very high quality electron bunches (high brightness and low energy spread) from a plasma-based accelerator in the three-dimensional blowout regime using self-inje…
9 GeV Energy Gain in a Beam-Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
M Litos, E Adli, J M Allen +15
An electron beam has gained a maximum energy of 9 GeV per particle in a 1.3 m-long electron beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator. The amount of charge accelerated in the spectr…
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…
Satisfying the Direct Laser Acceleration Resonance Condition in a Laser Wakefield Accelerator
J. L. Shaw, N. Vafaei-Najafabadi, K. A. Marsh +4
In this proceeding, we show that when the drive laser pulse overlaps the trapped electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), those electrons can gain energy from direct lase…
Role of direct laser acceleration in energy gained by electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator with ionization injection
J L Shaw, F S Tsung, N Vafaei-Najafabadi +4
We have investigated the role that the transverse electric field of the laser plays in the acceleration of electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) operating in the quasi-…
