The direct observation and full characterization of a Phase Space Electron Hole (EH) generated by laser-matter interaction is presented. This structure has been detected via proton radiography during the interaction between an intense laser pulse (t=1ns temporally flat-top, I= 10^14W/cm^2) and a gold 26 micron thick hohlraum. This technique has allowed us the simultaneous detection of propagation velocity, potential and electron density spatial profile across the EH with fine spatial and temporal resolution providing an unprecedentedly detailed experimental characterization.

Measurements of electron drift properties in liquid and gaseous xenon are reported. The electrons are generated by the photoelectric effect in a semi-transparent gold photocathode driven in transmission mode with a pulsed ultraviolet laser. The charg es drift and diffuse in a small chamber at various electric fields and a fixed drift distance of 2.0 cm. At an electric field of 0.5 kV/cm, the measured drift velocities and corresponding temperature coefficients respectively are $1.97 pm 0.04$ mm/$mu$s and $(-0.69pm0.05)$%/K for liquid xenon, and $1.42 pm 0.03$ mm/$mu$s and $(+0.11pm0.01)$%/K for gaseous xenon at 1.5 bar. In addition, we measure longitudinal diffusion coefficients of $25.7 pm 4.6$ cm$^2$/s and $149 pm 23$ cm$^2$/s, for liquid and gas, respectively. The quantum efficiency of the gold photocathode is studied at the photon energy of 4.73 eV in liquid and gaseous xenon, and vacuum. These charge transport properties and the behavior of photocathodes in a xenon environment are important in designing and calibrating future large scale noble liquid detectors.

A laser ablation ion source (LAS) is a powerful tool by which diverse species of ions can be produced for mass spectrometer calibration, or surface study applications. It is necessary to frequently shift the laser position on the target to selectivel y ablate materials in a controlled manner, and to mitigate degradation of the target surface caused by ablation. An alternative to mounting the target onto a rotation wheel or $x-y$ translation stage, is to shift the laser position with a final reflection from a motorized kinematic mirror mount. Such a system has been developed, assembled and characterized with a two axis motorized mirror and various metal targets. In the system presented here, ions are ablated from the target surface and guided by a 90 degree quadrupole bender to a Faraday cup where the ion current is measured. Spatially resolved scans of the target are produced by actuating the mirror motors, thus moving the laser spot across the target, and performing synchronous measurements of the ion current to construct 2D images of a target surface which can be up to 50~mm in diameter. The spatial resolution of the system has been measured by scanning the interfaces between metals such as steel and niobium, where it was demonstrated that the LAS can selectively ablate an area of diameter $approx$50 $mu$m. This work informs the development of subsequent LAS systems, that are intended to serve as multi-element ion sources for commercial and custom-built time-of-flight mass spectrometers, or to selectively study surface specific regions of samples.
Gas electron multiplier (GEM) is widely used in modern gas detectors of ionizing radiation in experiments on high-energy physics at accelerators and in other fields of science. Typically the GEM devices are based on a dielectric foil with holes and e lectrodes on both sides. GEMs made by radiation-hard dielectrics or wide band-gap semiconductors are desirable for some applications. The results of the first tests of the gas electron multiplier made of radiation-hard materials, such as polycrystalline CVD diamond with a thickness of 100 microns is described. Here we report on fabrication of GEM based on free-standing polycrystalline CVD diamond film and its first test.

We give a short overview of the DarkLight detector concept which is designed to search for a heavy photon A with a mass in the range 10 MeV/c^2 < m(A) < 90 MeV/c^2 and which decays to lepton pairs. We describe the intended operating environment, the Jefferson Laboratory free electon laser, and a way to extend DarkLights reach using A --> invisible decays.
A cryogenic supersonic gas jet target was developed for the MAGIX experiment at the high-intensity electron accelerator MESA. It will be operated as an internal, windowless target in the energy-recovering recirculation arc of the accelerator with dif ferent target gases, e.g., hydrogen, deuterium, helium, oxygen, argon, or xenon. Detailed studies have been carried out at the existing A1 multi-spectrometer facility at the electron accelerator MAMI. This paper focuses on the developed handling procedures and diagnostic tools, and on the performance of the gas jet target under beam conditions. Considering the special features of this type of target, it proves to be well suited for a new generation of high-precision electron scattering experiments at high-intensity electron accelerators.
