Revealing Laser and Electron Beam Evolution in 10-GeV-class Laser-Plasma Accelerators

Guiding relativistically intense laser pulses in low-density plasmas enables extended acceleration lengths in laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs), allowing for the production of multi-GeV electron beams. Quantitative interpretation of such…

Longitudinal tapering in meter-scale gas jets for increased efficiency of laser plasma accelerators

Modern laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) often require plasma waveguides tens of cm long to propagate a high-intensity drive laser pulse. Tapering the longitudinal gas density profile in 10 cm scale gas jets could allow for single stage…

Matched Guiding and Controlled Injection in Dark-Current-Free, 10-GeV-Class, Channel-Guided Laser Plasma Accelerators

We measure the high intensity laser propagation throughout meter-scale, channel-guided LPAs by adjusting the length of the plasma channel on a shot-by-shot basis, showing high quality guiding of 500 TW laser pulses over 30 cm in a hydrogen…

Direct measurement of the $^7$Be $L/K$ capture ratio in Ta-based superconducting tunnel junctions

We report a high-statistics measurement of the $L/K$ orbital electron capture (EC) ratio in $^7$Be embedded in cryogenic Ta. The thin Ta film formed part of a high-resolution superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) radiation detector that was…
