Design, installation, and commissioning of a new experimental setup at LBNL played an important role, and are detailed through three critical components: e-beam production, reflection of laser pulses with a plasma mirror, and large wake excitation below electron injection threshold. Pulses from a 40 TW peak power laser system were split into a 25 TW pulse and a 15 TW pulse. The first pulse was used for e-beam production in the first module, and the second pulse was used for wake excitation in the second module to post-accelerate the e-beam. As a result, reliable e-beam production and efficient wake excitation necessary for the staged acceleration were independently demonstrated. These experiments have laid the foundation for future staging experiments at the 40 TW peak power level. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 14$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 676 $a538.6 700 $aShiraishi$b Satomi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300425603321 996 $aInvestigation of Staged Laser-Plasma Acceleration$91771598 997 $aUNINA
