Abstract
Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPCs) are non-imaging concentrators designed to focus and intensify incoming light. During high-intensity laser plasma interactions, it is possible to accelerate a high energy (> MeV) electron beam. This electron beam can be used to generate many secondary forms of radiation. The intensity of the laser plays a significant role in many of the key aspects of the electron acceleration, such as the temperature of the Boltzmann-like energy distribution. Here we demonstrate experimentally that CPCs are beneficial to the acceleration of high energy electrons through the process of intensification.
