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…
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.…
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…
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…
Multi-messenger dynamic imaging of laser-driven shocks in water using a plasma wakefield accelerator
Mario D. Balcazar, Hai-En Tsai, Tobias Ostermayr +27
Understanding dense matter hydrodynamics is critical for predicting plasma behavior in environments relevant to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Traditional diagnostic sou…
