Effect of laser-focusing conditions on propagation and monoenergetic electron production in laser-wakefield accelerators (2007)

Thomas, AGR, Najmudin, Z, Mangles, SPD, Murphy, CD, Dangor, AE, Kamperidis, C, ...

The effect of laser-focusing conditions on the evolution of relativistic plasma waves in laser-wakefield accelerators is studied both experimentally and with particle-in-cell simulations. For short...

Measurements of wave-breaking radiation from a laser-wakefield accelerator (2007)

Thomas, AGR, Mangles, SPD, Najmudin, Z, Kaluza, MC, Murphy, CD, Krushelnick, K

Spectral analysis of radiation emitted transverse to laser propagation in laser-wakefield acceleration experiments shows broadband emission when electrons are accelerated to relativistic energies....

Evidence of photon acceleration by laser wake fields (2006)

Murphy, CD, Trines, R, Vieira, J, Reitsma, AJW, Bingham, R, Collier, JL, ...

Photon acceleration is the phenomenon whereby a light wave changes color when propagating through a medium whose index of refraction changes in time. This concept can be used to describe the spectral...

Effect of laser contrast ratio on electron beam stability in laser wakefield acceleration experiments (2006)

Mangles, SPD, Thomas, AGR, Kaluza, MC, Lundh, O, Lindau, F, Persson, A, ...

Laser wakefield accelerators offer the possibility of compact electron acceleration. However one of the key outstanding issues with the results reported to date is the electron beam stability....

Laser-wakefield acceleration of monoenergetic electron beams in the first plasma-wave period (2006)

Mangles, SPD, Thomas, AGR, Kaluza, MC, Lundh, O, Lindau, F, Persson, A, ...

Beam profile measurements of laser-wakefield accelerated electron bunches reveal that in the monoenergetic regime the electrons are injected and accelerated at the back of the first period of the...

Collimated multi-MeV ion beams from high-intensity laser interactions with underdense plasma (2006)

Willingale, L, Mangles, SPD, Nilson, PM, Clarke, RJ, Dangor, AE, Kaluza, MC, ...

A beam of multi-MeV helium ions has been observed from the interaction of a short-pulse high-intensity laser pulse with underdense helium plasma. The ion beam was found to have a maximum energy for...

Measurements of forward scattered laser radiation from intense sub-ps laser interactions with underdense plasmas (2006)

Walton, BR, Mangles, SPD, Najmudin, Z, Tatarakis, M, Wei, MS, Gopal, A, ...

Two experiments studying the interaction of high intensity laser pulses (1x10(19)-5x10(20) W/cm(2)) with underdense plasma are compared. The experiments used lasers that differed in power and focused...
