Plasma-wakefield-based acceleration technology has the potential to revolutionize the field
of particle accelerators. By providing acceleration gradients orders of magnitude larger than …

One of the most prominent applications of modern particle accelerators is the generation of
radiation. In a synchrotron or an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL), high energy electrons …

We measure the high-intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided
laser-plasma accelerators by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot …

The direct laser acceleration (DLA) of electrons in underdense plasmas can provide
hundreds of nC of electrons accelerated to near-GeV energies using currently available …

The extreme electric fields created in high-intensity laser-plasma interactions could generate
energetic ions far more compactly than traditional accelerators. Despite this promise, laser …

Electron self-injection in laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) is an important determinator
of electron beam parameters. Controllable and adjustable LWFA beams are essential for …

We present significant advances in laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) operating at a 1 kHz
repetition rate, employing a sub-TW, few-femtosecond laser and a continuously flowing …

We present a scheme of positron acceleration by intense terahertz (THz) wave together with
the driving large-charge electron beam in a plasma channel. The THz wave rapidly evolves …

An ultrahigh-intensity femtosecond laser can establish a longitudinal electric field stronger
than 1013 Vm− 1 within a plasma, accelerating particles potentially to GeV over a sub …

We propose a novel method for changing the length of laser wakefield electron acceleration
in a gas jet using a cylindrical blast-wave created by a perpendicularly focused nanosecond …
