Review of Beam Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
The current status of the beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerators is reviewed.
متن کاملOptical Diagnostics for Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
The amount of spectral energy released by the plasma as visible light is proportional to the amount of energy loss of the beam, a simple beam independent diagnostic which is an ideal tool to help understand wake field plasma interaction is presented here. Continuum light emitted by particles through Cerenkov and/or optical transition processes also indicate the appearance of plasma particles tr...
متن کاملSelf-modulated wakefield and forced laser wakefield acceleration of electrons
The interaction of intense laser pulses (power.30 TW) with underdense plasmas has been studied. In the regime where the pulse length is much longer than the plasma period (t l@2pvp ), the laser pulse is found to be self-modulated at the plasma frequency by the forward Raman scattering instability. Wavebreaking of the resulting plasma wave results in energetic electrons being accelerated to more...
متن کاملFrequency chirp and pulse shape effects in self-modulated laser wakefield accelerators
The effect of asymmetric laser pulses on plasma wave excitation in a self-modulated laser wakefield accelerator is examined. Laser pulse shape and frequency chirp asymmetries, controlled experimentally in the laser system through a grating pair compressor, are shown to strongly enhance measured electron yields for certain asymmetries. It is shown analytically that a positive (negative) frequenc...
متن کاملPlasma-based wakefield accelerators as sources of axion-like particles
We estimate the average flux density of minimally-coupled axion-like particles generated by a laserdriven plasma wakefield propagating along a constant strong magnetic field. Our calculations suggest that a terrestrial source based on this approach could generate a pulse of axion-like particles whose flux density is comparable to that of solar axion-like particles at Earth. This mechanism is op...
