Design Initiative for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Collider
Spencer Gessner, Jens Osterhoff, Carl A. Lindstrøm +198
This document outlines a community-driven Design Study for a 10 TeV pCM Wakefield Accelerator Collider. The 2020 ESPP Report emphasized the need for Advanced Accelerator R\&D, and…
Collider-quality electron bunches from an all-optical plasma photoinjector
Arohi Jain, Jiayang Yan, Jacob R. Pierce +11
We present a novel approach for generating collider-quality electron bunches using a plasma photoinjector. The approach leverages recently developed techniques for the spatiotempor…
Thermal Weibel instability induced magnetic fields co-exist with linear wakes in laser-ionized plasmas
Yipeng Wu, Audrey Farrell, Mitchell Sinclair +12
When a moderately intense, few-picoseconds long laser pulse ionizes gas to produce an underdense plasma column, a linear relativistic plasma wave or wake can be excited by the self…
High average power ultrafast laser technologies for driving future advanced accelerators
Leily Kiani, Tong Zhou, Seung-Whan Bahk +34
Large scale laser facilities are needed to advance the energy frontier in high energy physics and accelerator physics. Laser plasma accelerators are core to advanced accelerator co…
Mapping the self-generated magnetic fields due to thermal Weibel instability
Chaojie Zhang, Yipeng Wu, Mitchell Sinclair +15
Weibel-type instability can self-generate and amplify magnetic fields in both space and laboratory plasmas with temperature anisotropy. The electron Weibel instability has generall…
Electron Weibel instability induced magnetic fields in optical-field ionized plasmas
Chaojie Zhang, Yipeng Wu, Mitchell Sinclair +14
Generation and amplification of magnetic fields in plasmas is a long-standing topic that is of great interest to both plasma and space physics. The electron Weibel instability is a…
Preliminary Measurements for a Sub-Femtosecond Electron Bunch Length Diagnostic
M. K. Weikum, G. Andonian, N. S. Sudar +8
With electron beam durations down to femtoseconds and sub-femtoseconds achievable in current state-of-the-art accelerators, longitudinal bunch length diagnostics with resolution at…
An inverse free electron laser acceleration-driven Compton scattering X-ray source
I. Gadjev, N. Sudar, M. Babzien +13
The generation of X-rays and γ-rays based on synchrotron radiation from free electrons, emitted in magnet arrays such as undulators, forms the basis of much of modern X-ray science…
Demonstration of cascaded modulator-chicane micro-bunching of a relativistic electron beam
N. Sudar, P. Musumeci, I. Gadjev +9
We present results of an experiment showing the first successful demonstration of a cascaded micro-bunching scheme. Two modulator-chicane pre-bunchers arranged in series and a high…
Single shot, double differential spectral measurements of inverse Compton scattering in linear and nonlinear regimes
Y. Sakai, I. Gadjev, P. Hoang +18
Inverse Compton scattering (ICS) is a unique mechanism for producing fast pulses - picosecond and below - of bright X- to gamma-rays. These nominally narrow spectral bandwidth elec…
High efficiency energy extraction from a relativistic electron beam in a strongly tapered undulator
Nicholas Sudar, Pietro Musumeci, Joe Duris +8
We present results of an experiment where, using a 200 GW CO2 laser seed, a 65 MeV electron beam was decelerated down to 35 MeV in a 54 cm long strongly tapered helical magnetic un…
Spectral modification of shock accelerated ions using hydrodynamically shaped gas target
O. Tresca, N. P. Dover, N. Cook +5
We report on reproducible shock acceleration from irradiation of a m CO laser on optically shaped H and He gas targets. A low energy laser prepulse ($I\lesssim10…
Optical probing of shocks driven into overdense plasmas by laser hole-boring
N. P. Dover, C. A. J. Palmer, M. Babzien +11
Observations of the interaction of an intense λ0 \approx 10 μm laser pulse with near-critical overdense plasmas (ne = 1.8 - 3 nc) are presented. For the first time, transverse opti…
Monoenergetic proton beams accelerated by a radiation pressure driven shock
C. A. J. Palmer, N. P. Dover, I. Pogorelsky +8
High energy ion beams (> MeV) generated by intense laser pulses promise to be viable alternatives to conventional ion beam sources due to their unique properties such as high charg…
