The University of California Irvine was awarded a $636,981 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to support research into extreme ultraviolet generation and spectroscopy using laser wakefield accelerators. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2023 will fund experiments at petawatt laser facilities to characterize plasma conditions and investigate the potential of laser wakefield acceleration as an extreme ultraviolet light source. The university will measure plasma emission to infer temperature and correlate it with injected charge via simulations. Numerical modeling will also be performed to determine suitable models for describing laser-plasma interactions in this energy range. The research aims to advance understanding of extreme ultraviolet light generation methods and their practical applications.
