Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) were proposed more than three decades ago, and
while they promise to deliver compact, high energy particle accelerators, they will also …

Plasma-based accelerators that impart energy gain as high as several GeV to electrons or
positrons within a few centimeters have engendered a new class of diagnostic techniques …

Laser-plasma wakefield accelerators have seen tremendous progress, now capable of
producing quasi-monoenergetic electron beams in the GeV energy range with few …

Electron–photon scattering, or Thomson scattering, is one of the most fundamental
mechanisms in electrodynamics, underlying laboratory and astrophysical sources of high …

We present an all-laser-driven, energy-tunable, and quasimonochromatic x-ray source
based on Thomson scattering from laser-wakefield-accelerated electrons. One part of the …

We report on first commissioning results of the DRACO Petawatt ultra-short pulse laser
system implemented at the ELBE center for high power radiation sources of Helmholtz …

At the electron linac for beams with high brilliance and low emittance (ELBE) center for high-
