Laser 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...
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 کاملFeasibility of a Plasma-Filled Inverse Free Electron Laser Accelerator
A high power millimeter (mm) wave, in the presence of a magnetic wiggler, produces a large longitudinal ponderomotive force that can accelerate electrons. When a plasma of density n ~ ncr, where ncr is critical density, is introduced in the interaction region, the ponderomotive force resonantly drives a plasma wave that accelerates electrons to higher energies. However, propagation of the mm wa...
متن کاملElectron Rephasing in a Laser-Wakefield Accelerator.
An important limit for energy gain in laser-plasma wakefield accelerators is the dephasing length, after which the electron beam reaches the decelerating region of the wakefield and starts to decelerate. Here, we propose to manipulate the phase of the electron beam in the wakefield, in order to bring the beam back into the accelerating region, hence increasing the final beam energy. This rephas...
متن کاملElectron Density Determination in an Are Plasma by Laser Interferometry
In collison dominated plasmas the electron density is the most important parameter. Therefore laser interferometry is very attractive because it allows a direct determination of this quantity without any rigid assumptions such as, e.g., local thermodynamical equilibrium (LTE). For references see, e.g., Griem \ Alpher and White 2 or Kunze 3. In the experiment described in this paper we intended ...
