Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma-rays from harmonically resonant betatron oscillations in a plasma wake
Silvia Cipiccia,M. R. Islam,Bernhard Ersfeld,Richard Shanks,Enrico Brunetti,Gregory Vieux,X. Yang,Riju C. Issac,S. M. Wiggins,Gregor H. Welsh,Maria Pia Anania,Dzmitry Maneuski,R. A. Montgomery,G. D. Smith,M. Hoek,David Hamilton,Nuno Lemos,Dan Symes,P. P. Rajeev,Val O. Shea,João Dias,Dino A. Jaroszynski +21 more
TL;DR: The radiation produced when an intense laser interacts with a solid target could provide a cheaper source of X-rays to synchrotrons and free-electron lasers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Evidence of Radiation Reaction in the Collision of a High-Intensity Laser Pulse with a Laser-Wakefield Accelerated Electron Beam
Jason Cole,K. Behm,E. Gerstmayr,Tom Blackburn,J. C. Wood,C. D. Baird,M. J. Duff,Christopher Harvey,Antony Ilderton,Archis Joglekar,Karl Krushelnick,S. Kuschel,Mattias Marklund,Paul McKenna,C. D. Murphy,Kristjan Poder,Christopher Ridgers,G. M. Samarin,Gianluca Sarri,Dan Symes,Alexander Thomas,Alexander Thomas,J. Warwick,Matthew Zepf,Matthew Zepf,Matthew Zepf,Zulfikar Najmudin,Stuart Mangles +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured an energy loss in the postcollision electron spectrum that is correlated with the detected signal of hard photons (gamma rays), consistent with a quantum description of radiation reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of neutral and high-density electron-positron pair plasmas in the laboratory
Gianluca Sarri,Kristjan Poder,Jason Cole,William Schumaker,A. Di Piazza,Brian Reville,Thomas Dzelzainis,Domenico Doria,Leonida A. Gizzi,G. Grittani,Satyabrata Kar,Christoph H. Keitel,Karl Krushelnick,S. Kuschel,Stuart Mangles,Zulfikar Najmudin,Nitin Shukla,Luis O. Silva,Dan Symes,Alexander Thomas,M. Vargas,Jorge Vieira,Matthew Zepf +22 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, by using a compact laser-driven setup, ion-free electron–positron plasmas with unique characteristics can be produced, and their charge neutrality, high-density and small divergence finally open up the possibility of studying electron– Positron Plasmas in controlled laboratory experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrahigh Brilliance Multi-MeV γ-Ray Beams from Nonlinear Relativistic Thomson Scattering
Gianluca Sarri,D. J. Corvan,William Schumaker,Jason Cole,A. Di Piazza,Hamad Ahmed,Christopher Harvey,Christoph H. Keitel,Karl Krushelnick,Stuart Mangles,Zulfikar Najmudin,Dan Symes,Alexander Thomas,Mark Yeung,Z. Zhao,Matthew Zepf,Matthew Zepf +16 more
TL;DR: To the best of the knowledge, this photon source has the highest peak brilliance in the multi-MeV regime ever reported in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Signatures of the Quantum Nature of Radiation Reaction in the Field of an Ultraintense Laser
Kristjan Poder,Matteo Tamburini,Gianluca Sarri,A. Di Piazza,S. Kuschel,S. Kuschel,C. D. Baird,K. Behm,S. Bohlen,Jason Cole,D. J. Corvan,M. J. Duff,E. Gerstmayr,Christoph H. Keitel,Karl Krushelnick,Stuart Mangles,Paul McKenna,C. D. Murphy,Zulfikar Najmudin,Christopher Ridgers,G. M. Samarin,Dan Symes,Alexander Thomas,Alexander Thomas,J. Warwick,Matthew Zepf,Matthew Zepf,Matthew Zepf +27 more
TL;DR: Substantial energy loss in an electron beam passing through a high-intensity laser provides clear evidence of the radiation reaction, shedding light on how electrons interact with extreme electromagnetic fields.
