Ultrafast electron microscopy provides a movie-like access to structural dynamics of materials in space and time, but fundamental atomic motions or electron dynamics are, so far, too quick to be resolved. Here we report the all-optical…
Bunches of high charge (up to 10 nC) are compressed in length in the CTF II magnetic chicane to less than 0.2 mm rms. The short bunches radiate coherently in the chicane magnetic field, and the horizontal and longitudinal phase space…
Relativistic bulk motion with large Lorentz factors has recently been inferred for gamma-ray bursts regardless of whether they are of galactic or cosmological origin. This conclusion results from calculations of internal pair production…
We propose and demonstrate a novel method to reduce the pulse width and timing jitter of a relativistic electron beam through THz-driven beam compression. In this method the longitudinal phase space of a relativistic electron beam is…
Terahertz (THz) emissions from fast electron and ion currents driven in relativistic, femtosecond laser-foil interactions are examined theoretically. We first consider the radiation from the energetic electrons exiting the backside of the…
Relativistic shock models of gamma-ray bursts may be tested by comparison of their predicted low energy asymptotic spectral indices s to observations. Synchrotron radiation theory predicts that the instantaneous spectrum has s = - 1/3 and…
I present a computationally efficient way to account for synchrotron and its inverse Compton scattered emission along with the resulting radiative losses, in a self-consistent way, for a relativistic distribution of electrons continuously…
A compact terahertz (THz) polarimetric spectrometer and imaging system is demonstrated using polarization-sensitive frequency-selective surfaces (PS-FSS) and rapid, intensity-based detection. Real-time Stokes parameter extraction enables…
Ultra-high intensity femtosecond lasers at focus are now routinely used for relativistic motion of charged particles with peak intensities over 10^18W/cm^2. Such high-field experiments are very sensitive to the value of the peak intensity.…
The concepts in this thesis comprise three groups focusing on: (1) fast electron sources, (2) THz injectors, and (3) THz linacs. First, the feasibility of ultrafast, high-yield electron emitters based on nanostructured cathodes is…
For terahertz spectroscopy on single crystals, the wavelength $\lambda$ often is comparable to the size of the studied samples, emphasizing diffraction effects. Using a continuous-wave terahertz spectrometer in transmission geometry, we…
We introduce the parameter of bunching for an analysis of the intermittent structure of multihadron production in high-energy collisions following an analogy with photon counting in quantum optics. A power-law singularity is shown to exist…
Terahertz (THz) waves have been significantly developed in the last fifteen years because of their great potential for applications in industrial and scientific communities1,2. The unique properties of THz waves as transparency for numerous…
Coherent curvature radiation by charged bunches has been discussed as the radiation mechanism for radio pulsars and fast radio bursts. Important issues for this radiation mechanism include how the bunches form and disperse in the…
We report the experimental observation of photon bunching noise through shot noise measurements made on a pseudo-thermal state of light using balanced detection. A full theory describing the measurement is developed, and in agreement with…
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), like pulsars, display radio emission from compact regions such that they can be treated as point sources. As this radiation propagates through space, they encounter sources of lensing such as a gravitational field…
Although starburst galaxies have relatively flat spectral energy distributions, their strong optical emission lines and near-UV continua make it very feasible to estimate their redshifts photometrically. In this work, I describe a…
We reexamine the general synchrotron model for GRBs' prompt emission and determine the regime in the parameter phase space in which it is viable. We characterize a typical GRB pulse in terms of its peak energy, peak flux and duration and…
We theoretically investigate the ultrafast terahertz(THz) properties of monolayer graphene. The analytical formulations of the photon carrier, electric polarization and optical current are obtained by solving the Bloch-equations in present…
We study the variability properties at radio frequencies of the jets thought to be typical of Active Galactic Nuclei, i.e. bulk Lorentz factor \Gamma ~ 10, and incoherent synchrotron emission. We assume that the radiating electrons are…
