Energy-resolved measurement of individual GeV muon tracks generated by electrons from a compact Laser-Plasma Accelerator
Davide Terzani, Luc Le Pottier, Stanimir Kisyov +17
Recently, the possibility of LPA-produced muon beams has gained significant interest within the accelerator application community. Directional, multi-GeV muons can be produced via…
Experimental demonstration of Flying-Focus enhanced Thomson scattering
E. Gerstmayr, C. Mariani, R. Fitzgarrald +23
We report the experimental demonstration of a spatiotemporally engineered "Flying-Focus" laser pulse for enhanced x-ray generation in relativistic Thomson scattering. A combination…
Stability and optical quality of "windmill"-formed 8CB liquid crystal films for replenishable plasma mirrors
A. Vazquez, A. Jewell, M. Cole +16
Liquid crystal (LC) film plasma mirrors (PMs) based on 4-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) are an enabling technology for reflecting high-fluence laser pulses. These freestanding LC fil…
Radiation damage to normal mammalian tissue in vivo with laser-driven protons at ultra-high instantaneous dose rate
Lieselotte Obst-Huebl, Jamie L. Inman, Jared De Chant +12
The differential sparing of normal tissues relative to tumor control observed at ultra-high dose rates, referred to as the FLASH effect, has recently gained considerable attention.…
Revealing Laser and Electron Beam Evolution in 10-GeV-class Laser-Plasma Accelerators
H. Tang, A. Picksley, C. Benedetti +12
Guiding relativistically intense laser pulses in low-density plasmas enables extended acceleration lengths in laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs), allowing for the production of multi…
A Linear Collider Vision for the Future of Particle Physics
H. Abramowicz, E. Adli, F. Alharthi +446
In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take a fresh look at the…
