Today's an exciting day! We have submitted two papers to ArXiV, one of which is my positron acceleration work using Direct Laser Acceleration. Here, we use methods to improve positron creation and retention and a semi-analytical model to predict laser depletion. arxiv.org/abs/2411.174...

Improved Bethe-Heitler positron creation and retention by combining direct laser acceleration and solid target interaction within a gas jet The next generation of Petawatt-class lasers presents the opportunity to study positron production and acceleration experimentally, in an all-optical setting. Several configurations were proposed to p... https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.17455v1
