Laser-plasma physics has developed rapidly over the past few decades as lasers have
become both more powerful and more widely available. Early experimental and numerical …

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 …

Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) and its particle-driven counterpart, particle or plasma
wakefield acceleration (PWFA), are commonly treated as separate, though related, branches …

Betatron x-ray sources from laser-plasma interaction are characterized by compactness,
ultrashort duration, broadband spectrum and micron source size. However, high-quality …

This article first gives the authors' perspectives on how the field of plasma-based
acceleration (PBA) developed and how the current experiments, theory, and simulations are …

The realization of compact X-ray sources is one of the most intriguing applications of laser-
plasma based electron acceleration. These sources based on the oscillation of short micron …

The P3 installation of ELI-Beamlines is conceived as an experimental platform for multiple
high-repetition-rate laser beams spanning time scales from femtosecond via picosecond to …

Our previous experimental and three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation
results demonstrated that a well-directed electron beam with space charge of about μC and …

X-rays generated by betatron oscillations of electrons in a laser-driven plasma accelerator
were characterised and applied to imaging industrial samples. With a 125 TW laser, a low …

The ultrafast dynamics of the loss of crystalline periodicity is investigated in femtosecond
laser heated warm dense copper, by the original use of x-ray absorption near-edge specific …
