Scalable design for a high energy cryogenic gas cooled diode pumped laser amplifier
Paul Mason,M. Fitton,Andrew Lintern,Saumyabrata Banerjee,Klaus Ertel,T. Davenne,J. Hill,S. Blake,P. J. Phillips,Thomas Butcher,Jodie Smith,M. De Vido,R. J. S. Greenhalgh,Cristina Hernandez-Gomez,John Collier +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a scalable design for a cryogenic helium gas cooled DPSSL amplifier based on a multislab Yb:YAG geometry is presented, which has been derived from computational fluid dynamic calculations and thermal modeling.

Observed proton beam induced disruption of a tungsten powder sample at CERN
T. Davenne,P. Loveridge,Robert Bingham,J. Wark,John Back,O. Caretta,Chris Densham,J. O’Dell,D. Wilcox,M. Fitton +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider three mechanisms to explain the observed powder lift including aerodynamic, thermal expansion and induced charge effects and show that the observed eruptions can be explained by a Coulombic eruption of the tungsten particles.
Frequency Doubling at 7J of a High Energy, High Repetition Rate DPSSL System

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present calculations and results for frequency doubling on DiPOLE, a 7J 10 Hz Yb:YAG DPSSL, using DKDP, YCOB and LBO.
Proton beam induced dynamics of tungsten granules
O. Caretta,P. Loveridge,J. O’Dell,T. Davenne,M. Fitton,A. Atherton,Chris Densham,Nikolaos Charitonidis,I. Efthymiopoulos,Adrian Fabich,Michael Guinchard,L. Lacny,Bjorn Lindstrom +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results from single-pulse experiments of a proton beam interacting with granular tungsten samples in both vacuum and helium environments were reported, showing that a greater dynamic response is produced in a vacuum than in a helium environment and in smaller grains compared with larger grains.
