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 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 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 کاملThe Physics Experiment for a Laser - driven Electron Accelerator
A physics experiment for laser-driven, electron acceleration in a structureloaded vacuum is being carried out at Stanford University. The experiment is to demonstrate the linear dependence of the electron energy gain on the laser field strength. The accelerator structure, made of dielectric, is semi-open, with dimensions a few thousand times the laser wavelength. The electrons traverse the axis...
