Abstract:

A hydrogen plasma waveguide for high-intensity laser pulses is described. The guiding channel is formed by a small-scale discharge in a hydrogen-filled capillary. The measured lifetime of the capillary is inferred to be greater than 10(6) shots. The results of interferometric measurements of the electron density in the capillary are presented. The guiding channel is found to be highly ionized with an axial electron density of 2.7x10(18) cm(-3), and parabolic, the curvature corresponding to a matched spot-size of 37.5 microm.

Abstract:

The exclusive electroproduction of ω mesons, ep → e ω p, has been studied in the kinematic range 3 < Q2 < 20 GeV2, 40 < W < 120 GeV and |t| < 0.6 GeV2 with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 37.7 pb-1. The ω mesons were identified via the decay ω → π+ π- π0. The exclusive cross section in the above kinematic region is σ(ep) → e ω p = 0.108 ± 0.014 (stat.) ± 0.026(syst.) nb. The reaction ep → e φ p, φ → π+ π- π0, has also been measured. The cross sections, as well as the ratios σ γ·p → ωp/σ γ · p → p0p and σ γ · p → ωp/σγ·p → φp, are presented as a function of W and Q2. Thus, for the first time, the properties of ω electroproduction can be compared to those of p0,φ and J/ψ electroproduction at high W. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Inner-shell soft X-ray lasers in Ne-like ions driven by optical field ionization

Optics Communications 182:1-3 (2000) 209-219

Abstract:

A novel short-wavelength laser based upon monopole excitation of inner-shell electrons in Ne-like ions following optical field ionization with circularly polarized radiation is discussed. Calculations of the small-signal gain are presented for one such ion, Ne-like Ar, for which a small-signal gain of 13.7 cm-1 is predicted on the 2s → 2p hole transition at 15.8 nm for an Ar pressure of 50 mbar. Extensions of this approach to other inner-shell transitions are suggested. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
