Faraday rotation study of plasma bubbles in GeV wakefield accelerators
Y. Y. Chang, X. Cheng, A. Hannasch +8
We visualize plasma bubbles driven by 0.67 PW laser pulses in plasma of density by imaging Faraday rotation patterns imprinted on linea…
Two-Pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator
B. Bowers, M. LaBerge, A. Koehler +10
We present methods and preliminary observations of two pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator. This acceleration mechanism uses a second co-propagatin…
Explosion Dynamics of Methane Clusters Irradiated by 38 nm XUV Laser Pulses
A. Helal, S. Bruce, H. Quevedo +2
We have studied the explosion dynamics of methane clusters irradiated by intense, femtosecond, 38 nm (32.6 eV) XUV laser pulses. The ion time-of-flight spectrum measured with a Wil…
Effects of Laser Polarization and Color on Hybrid Laser Wakefield and Direct Acceleration
Xi Zhang, V. Khudik, A. C. Bernstein +2
We demonstrate that hybrid laser wakefield and direct acceleration (LWDA) can be significantly improved by using two laser pulses with different polarizations or frequencies. The i…
Time-Resolved Pulse Propagation in Glass in Single-Shot
Yen-Yu Chang, Zhengyan Li, James Welch +3
We report time-resolved pulse self-steepening and temporal splitting in flint glass (SF11) in single-shot using broadband frequency-domain streak camera (B-FDSC). The broadband ($6…
Observation of Plasma Bubble Structures in a GeV Laser-Plasma Accelerator
Yen-Yu Chang, Kathleen Weichman, Xiantao Cheng +8
We measure characteristics of plasma bubbles in GeV-class laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) using Faraday rotation diagnostics. We extend these techniques, previously demonstrated f…
Bright 5 - 85 MeV Compton gamma-ray pulses from GeV laser-plasma accelerator and plasma mirror
J. M. Shaw, A. C. Bernstein, R. Zgadzaj +19
We convert a GeV laser-plasma electron accelerator into a compact femtosecond-pulsed -ray source by inserting a m-thick glass plate cm after the accelerator exit.…
Model-independent determination of the astrophysical S-factor in laser-induced fusion plasmas
D. Lattuada, M. Barbarino, A. Bonasera +16
In this work, we present a new and general method for measuring the astrophysical S-factor of nuclear reactions in laser-induced plasmas and we apply it to d(d,n)He. The expe…
