In this proceeding, we show that when the drive laser pulse overlaps the trapped electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), those electrons can gain energy from direct laser acceleration (DLA) over extended distances despite the evolution of both the laser and the wake. Through simulations, the evolution of the properties of both the laser and the electron beam is quantified, and then the resonance condition for DLA is examined in the context of this change. We find that although the electrons produced from the LWFA cannot continuously satisfy the DLA resonance condition, they nevertheless can gain a significant amount of energy from DLA.

The two-temperature relativistic electron spectrum from a low-density ($3times10^{17}$~cm$^{-3}$) self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator (SM-LWFA) is observed to transition between temperatures of $19pm0.65$ and $46pm2.45$ MeV at an electron ener
gy of about 100 MeV. When the electrons are dispersed orthogonally to the laser polarization, their spectrum above 60 MeV shows a forking structure characteristic of direct laser acceleration (DLA). Both the two-temperature distribution and the forking structure are reproduced in a quasi-3D textsc{Osiris} simulation of the interaction of the 1-ps, moderate-amplitude ($a_{0}=2.7$) laser pulse with the low-density plasma. Particle tracking shows that while the SM-LWFA mechanism dominates below 40 MeV, the highest-energy ($>60$ MeV) electrons gain most of their energy through DLA. By separating the simulated electric fields into modes, the DLA-dominated electrons are shown to lose significant energy to the longitudinal laser field from the tight focusing geometry, resulting in a more accurate measure of net DLA energy gain than previously possible.
We demonstrate that hybrid laser wakefield and direct acceleration (LWDA) can be significantly improved by using two laser pulses with different polarizations or frequencies. The improvement entails higher energy and charge of the accelerated electro
ns, as well as weaker sensitivity to the time delay between the leading (pump) pulse responsible for generating the wakefield, and the trailing laser pulse responsible for direct laser acceleration (DLA). When the two laser pulses have the same frequency, it is shown that it is advantageous to have their polarization states orthogonal to each other. A specific scenario of a frequency-doubled ($lambda_{rm DLA}=lambda_{rm pump}/2$) DLA laser pulse is also considered, and found to be an improvement over the single-frequency ($lambda_{rm DLA} = lambda_{rm pump}$) scenario.
We present methods and preliminary observations of two pulse Direct Laser Acceleration in a Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerator. This acceleration mechanism uses a second co-propagating laser pulse to overlap and further accelerate electrons in a wakefie
ld bubble, increasing energy at the cost of emittance when compared to traditional laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA). To this end, we introduce a method of femtosecond scale control of time delay between two co-propagating pulses. We show energy enhancement when the separation between the two pulses approaches the bubble radius.
We demonstrate that laser reflection acts as a catalyst for superponderomotive electron production in the preplasma formed by relativistic multipicosecond lasers incident on solid density targets. In 1D particle-in-cell simulations, high energy elect
ron production proceeds via two stages of direct laser acceleration, an initial stochastic backward stage, and a final non-stochastic forward stage. The initial stochastic stage, driven by the reflected laser pulse, provides the pre-acceleration needed to enable the final stage to be non-stochastic. Energy gain in the electrostatic potential, which has been frequently considered to enhance stochastic heating, is only of secondary importance. The mechanism underlying the production of high energy electrons by laser pulses incident on solid density targets is of direct relevance to applications involving multipicosecond laser-plasma interactions.
Particle energy chirp is shown to be a useful instrument in the staging laser wake field acceleration directed to generation of high-quality dense electron beams. The chirp is a necessary tool to compensate non-uniformity of acceleration field in lon
gitudinal direction and achieve essential reduction of energy dispersion. This is demonstrated via particle-in-cell simulations exploiting the splitting technique for plasma and beam electrons. Properly chosen beam chirps allow decrease in the energy dispersion of order of magnitude in every single stage during acceleration to the GeV energy range.
