Dr Gianluca Sarri (Queen's University Belfast)29/09/2017, 11:30Invited Plenary TalktalkThe generation of high-quality relativistic positron beams is a central area of research in experimental physics due to their potential relevance in a wide range of scientific and engineering areas, ranging from fundamental science to practical applications. There is now growing interest in developing hybrid machines that will combine plasma-based acceleration techniques with more conventional...Go to contribution page

Dr Jonathan Wood (Imperial College London)29/09/2017, 12:00Invited Plenary TalktalkBetatron radiation from laser wakefield accelerators is an ultrashort pulsed source of hard, synchrotron-like x-ray radiation. It emanates from a centimetre scale plasma accelerator producing GeV level electron beams. In recent years betatron radiation has been developed as a source capable of taking high resolution x-ray images in compact geometries, however until now the short pulse nature...Go to contribution page

Dr Felicie Albert (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)29/09/2017, 12:30Invited Plenary TalktalkBetatron x-ray radiation, driven by electrons from laser-wakefield acceleration, has unique properties to probe high energy density (HED) plasmas and warm dense matter. This source is produced when relativistic electrons oscillate in the plasma wake of a laser pulse. Its properties are similar to that of a synchrotron, with a 1000-fold shorter pulse. This presentation will focus on the...Go to contribution page
