Observation of monoenergetic relativistic electron beams from intense laser - plasma interactions

Optics InfoBase Conference Papers (2005)

Authors:

SPD Mangles, CD Murphy, Z Najmudin, AGR Thomas, BR Walton, AE Dangor, K Krushelnick, PS Foster, CJ Hooker, A Langley, J Collier, PA Norreys, J Gallacher, R Viskup, DA Jarosynski, WB Mori, FS Tsung

Abstract:

We report the observation of monoenergetic electron beams (dE/E < 5%) produced by the interaction of a 12TW, 40fs laser pulse with underdense plasma, in contrast to all previous experiments, which produced energy spreads ~100%. © 2005 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:

We have studied the picosecond-dynamics of optically pumped hexagonal LuMnO3 using ultrafast x-ray diffraction. Experimental data are compared with a simulation based on dynamical diffraction theory modified to account for the hexagonal structure of LuMnO3. © 2003 Optical Society of America.
