LOW ENERGY SPREAD 100 MeV-1 GeV ELECTRON BUNCHES FROM LASER WAKEFIELD ACCELERATION AT LOASIS*
Experiments at the LOASIS laboratory of LBNL recently demonstrated production of 100 MeV electron beams with low energy spread and low divergence from laser wakefield acceleration. The radiation pressure of a 10 TW laser pulse guided over 10 diffraction ranges by a plasma density channel was used to drive an intense plasma wave (wakefield), producing acceleration gradients on the order of 100 G...
متن کاملGenerating multi-GeV electron bunches using single stage laser wakefield acceleration in a 3D nonlinear regime
The extraordinary ability of space-charge waves in plasmas to accelerate charged particles at gradients that are orders of magnitude greater than in current accelerators has been well documented. We develop a phenomenological framework for laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) in the 3D nonlinear regime, in which the plasma electrons are expelled by the radiation pressure of a short pulse laser, ...
متن کاملNear-GeV-energy laser-wakefield acceleration of self-injected electrons in a centimeter-scale plasma channel.
The first three-dimensional, particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of laser-wakefield acceleration of self-injected electrons in a 0.84 cm long plasma channel are reported. The frequency evolution of the initially 50 fs (FWHM) long laser pulse by photon interaction with the wake followed by plasma dispersion enhances the wake which eventually leads to self-injection of electrons from the channel w...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Electron Acceleration in a Self-modulated Laser Wakefield
Acceleration of electrons by an electron plasma wave has been of great current interest because of its much larger acceleration gradient than that of conventional rf linacs [1]. Several methods have been proposed for driving a largeamplitude fast-phase-velocity plasma wave [1]. In the Laser Wake-Field Accelerator (LWFA), an electron plasma wave is driven resonantly by a short laser pulse throug...
متن کاملSimulation of laser wakefield acceleration of an ultrashort electron bunch.
The dynamics of the acceleration of a short electron bunch in a strong plasma wave excited by a laser pulse in a plasma channel is studied both analytically and numerically in slab geometry. In our simulations, a fully nonlinear, relativistic hydrodynamic description for the plasma wave is combined with particle-in-cell methods for the description of the bunch. Collective self-interactions with...
