An Electron Source for a Laser Accelerator*
Laser accelerators offer the promise of producing attosecond electron bunches from a compact accelerator. Electron source requirements for laser accelerators are challenging in several respects, but are achievable. We discuss these requirements, and propose an injector design. Simulation and design work for essential components for a laser accelerator electron source suitable for a high energy ...
متن کاملA Compact Soft X-ray Free-Electron Laser Facility based on a Dielectric Wakefield Accelerator
X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) are expensive instruments with the accelerator holding the largest portion of the cost of the entire facility. Using a highenergy gain dielectric wakefield accelerator (DWA) instead of the conventional accelerator may reduce the facility size and, significantly, its cost. We show that a collinear dielectric wakefield accelerator can, in principle, accelerate lo...
متن کاملCompact x-ray free-electron laser from a laser-plasma accelerator using a transverse-gradient undulator.
Compact laser-plasma accelerators can produce high energy electron beams with low emittance, high peak current but a rather large energy spread. The large energy spread hinders the potential applications for coherent free-electron laser (FEL) radiation generation. We discuss a method to compensate the effects of beam energy spread by introducing a transverse field variation into the FEL undulat...
متن کاملLaser Electron Accelerator
An intense electromagnetic pulse can create a weak of plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear ponderomotive force. Electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energy. Existing glass lasers of power density lotsW/cm shone on plasmas of densities 10 8 cm can yield gigaelectronvolts of electron energy per centimeter of acceleration distance. This acceleration mechanism...
متن کاملLaser Plasma Electron Linear Accelerator
The generation of an ultrashort relativistic electron bunch from a strong laser-plasma interaction have been studied by particle-in-cell simulations and observed experimentally. The electron beam was generated from the plasma created by focusing a Ti: sapphire 12 TW (tera watt) laser pulse at the edge of helium gas jet expanded into the vacuum from a pulsed supersonic nozzle. The laser pulse du...
