Physics of nanocoulomb-class electron beams in laser-plasma wakefields
J. Götzfried, A. Döpp, M. Gilljohann +7
Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) and its particle-driven counterpart, plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA), are commonly treated as separate, though related branches of high-gra…
Nonlinear plasma wavelength scalings in a laser wakefield accelerator
H. Ding, A. Döpp, M. Gilljohann +6
Laser wakefield acceleration relies on the excitation of a plasma wave due to the ponderomotive force of an intense laser pulse. However, plasma wave trains in the wake of the lase…
Demonstration of a compact plasma accelerator powered by laser-accelerated electron beams
T. Kurz, T. Heinemann, M. F. Gilljohann +22
Plasma wakefield accelerators are capable of sustaining gigavolt-per-centimeter accelerating fields, surpassing the electric breakdown threshold in state-of-the-art accelerator mod…
Probing Ultrafast Magnetic-Field Generation by Current Filamentation Instability in Femtosecond Relativistic Laser-Matter Interactions
G. Raj, O. Kononenko, A. Doche +28
We present experimental measurements of the femtosecond time-scale generation of strong magnetic-field fluctuations during the interaction of ultrashort, moderately relativistic la…
Tunable X-ray source by Thomson scattering during laser-wakefield acceleration
Sabine Schindler, Andreas Döpp, Hao Ding +3
We report results on all-optical Thomson scattering intercepting the acceleration process in a laser wakefield accelerator. We show that the pulse collision position can be detecte…
Direct observation of plasma waves and dynamics induced by laser-accelerated electron beams
M. F. Gilljohann, H. Ding, A. Döpp +14
Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is a novel acceleration technique with promising prospects for both particle colliders and light sources. However, PWFA research has so far bee…
