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…
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.…
Generation and control of Doppler harmonics approaching on plasma mirrors
Baptiste Groussin, Philipp Sikorski, Aodhan McIlvenny +12
In this letter, we report Doppler harmonic generation with a relativistic plasma mirror at unprecedented intensities using a PetaWatt-class laser. We sh…
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…
