Laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) has demonstrated to be a small-scale alternative for accelerating electrons. With the discovery and experimental realization of the so-called blowout regime, quasi-monoenergetic electron bunches could be produced. Progress in LWFA beam quality and stability has always been tied to improvements in machine control and experimental diagnostics. One such...
A key problem in experimental diagnostics of laser-plasma interactions is identifying the interaction scenario using only limited measurement data. Using numerical simulations for training ML models to recognize interactions via measurements has the potential to become a powerful paradigm for complex experimental arrangements. This is because such ML-based diagnostics does not require either...
