Observation of beam loading in a laser-plasma accelerator.
Beam loading is the phenomenon which limits the charge and the beam quality in plasma based accelerators. An experimental study conducted with a laser-plasma accelerator is presented. Beam loading manifests itself through the decrease of the beam energy, the reduction of dark current, and the increase of the energy spread for large beam charge. 3D PIC simulations are compared to the experimenta...
متن کاملDemonstration of a positron beam-driven hollow channel plasma wakefield accelerator
Plasma wakefield accelerators have been used to accelerate electron and positron particle beams with gradients that are orders of magnitude larger than those achieved in conventional accelerators. In addition to being accelerated by the plasma wakefield, the beam particles also experience strong transverse forces that may disrupt the beam quality. Hollow plasma channels have been proposed as a ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the beam loading effects in a laser plasma accelerator
In this study, electrons were injected into a laser plasma accelerator using colliding laser pulses. By varying the parameters of the injection laser pulse, the amount of charge accelerated in the plasma wave could be controlled. This external control of the injected load was used to investigate beam loading of the accelerating structure and especially its influence on the electron beam energy ...
متن کاملParticle Beam Stability in the Hollow Plasma Channel Wake Field Accelerator
The electromagnetic wake field response of a hollow plasma channel to a driver (laser or charged particle beam) of arbitrary velocity is derived. The dispersion and loss factors of excited fundamental and higher order azimuthal modes are computed. Growth rates for beam breakup instabilities are calculated and beam transport is studied. External focusing is shown to provide a method of controlli...
متن کاملMultimode Analysis of the Hollow Plasma Channel Wake eld Accelerator
The hollow plasma channel is analyzed as an accelerating structure. The excitation of the channel by an ultra-relativistic beam is analyzed. Coupling to the fundamental and all higher order azimuthal modes of the excited electromagnetic elds is derived. Implications of this work for plasma-based accelerators, including beam loading and beam breakup, are discussed. Small initial transverse displ...
