Generating high-brightness electron beams via ionization injection by transverse colliding lasers in a plasma-wakefield accelerator.
The production of ultrabright electron bunches using ionization injection triggered by two transversely colliding laser pulses inside a beam-driven plasma wake is examined via three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The relatively low intensity lasers are polarized along the wake axis and overlap with the wake for a very short time. The result is that the residual momentum of the ionize...
متن کاملIonization Injection and Acceleration of Electrons in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator at FACET
Localized injection of electrons within a relativistic plasma wake can potentially produce an ultrashort, monoenergetic electron bunch. Recent experiments at the FACET facility explored the injection of helium electrons at the helium-lithium interface of a lithium heat pipe oven and the subsequent acceleration in the beam-produced plasma wake. Electrons accelerated to over 10 GeV in 30 cm of pl...
متن کاملColliding Pulse Injection Control in a Laser-Plasma Accelerator
Control of injection into a high gradient laser-plasma accelerator is presented using the beat between two ’colliding’ laser pulses to kick electrons into the plasma wake accelerating phase. Stable intersection and performance over hours of operation were obtained using active pointing control. Dependence of injector performance on laser and plasma parameters were characterized in coordination ...
متن کاملInjection of electrons by colliding laser pulses in a laser wakefield accelerator
To improve the stability and reproducibility of laser wakefield accelerators and to allow for future applications, controlling the injection of electrons is of great importance. This allows us to control the amount of charge in the beams of accelerated electrons and final energy of the electrons. Results are presented from a recent experiment on controlled injection using the scheme of collidin...
متن کاملPositron Production in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
In a visit on Oct. 28, 1996 to the Center for Ultrafast Optical Studies at U. Michigan I had interesting conversations with Gerard Mourou and Don Umstadter about possible mechanisms for positron production in a plasma that is illuminated with a strong laser. I argue that positron production via a trident process (which includes Bethe-Heitler pair production) involving an isolated nucleus is pos...
