Demonstration of relativistic electron beam focusing by a laser-plasma lens

Laser-driven plasmas can accelerate electrons in set-ups far smaller than conventional particle accelerators, but beam divergence is a problem. Here, the authors demonstrate a laser-plasma lens that can focus the beam thanks to field gradients five order of magnitude larger than using traditional optics.

Observation of longitudinal and transverse self-injections in laser-plasma accelerators

Laser-plasma accelerators can produce giga electronvolt energy electrons over centimetre scales, but their properties depend on the initial injection into the accelerator. Corde et al.study self-injection of electrons into the plasma wake and identify both transverse and longitudinal injection mechanisms.

An ultracompact X-ray source based on a laser-plasma undulator

Synchrotron radiation sources based on a combination of laser plasma accelerators and magnetic undulator have been limited in terms of brightness. Here, Andriyash et al.propose to use a sub-millimetre nano-wire array as a laser-plasma undulator that could produce bright, collimated and tunable X-ray pulses.

Spatio-temporal couplings for controlling group velocity in longitudinally pumped seeded soft X-ray lasers

Researchers use pulse front curvature and temporal chirp to control the group velocity of a soft X-ray laser pump beam, resulting in improved energy extraction and reduced pulse duration.

Coherent dynamics of plasma mirrors

Emission coherence is crucial to the potential of future X-ray sources based on high-order harmonic generation from laser-driven plasmas. Contrary to expectations, coherent emission is possible, but only if the pulses driving it are temporally sharp.

All-optical Compton gamma-ray source

Scientists demonstrate a Compton-based electromagnetic source based on a laser-plasma accelerator and a plasma mirror. The source generates a broadband spectrum of X-rays and is 10,000 times brighter than Compton X-ray sources based on conventional accelerators.

Control of laser plasma accelerated electrons for light sources

Electron beam quality in accelerators is crucial for light source application. Here the authors demonstrate beam conditioning of laser plasma electrons thanks to a specific transport line enabling the control of divergence, energy, steering and dispersion and the application to observe undulator radiation.
