Monoenergetic electron beam generation from a laser-plasma accelerator

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...

Low emittance electron beam generation from a laser wakefield accelerator using two laser pulses with different wavelengths

Ionization injection triggered by short wavelength laser pulses inside a nonlinear wakefield driven by a longer wavelength laser is examined via multidimensional particle-in-cell simulations. We find that very bright electron beams can be generated through this two-color scheme in either collinear propagating or transverse colliding geometry. For a fixed laser intensity I, lasers with longer/sh...

Quasi monoenergetic electron bunch generation by frequency variation laser pulse in magnetized plasma

The effect of the frequency variation of laser pulse in uniform magnetized plasma is considered in onedimensional laser wakefield acceleration and carried out particle simulation. It is shown that wakefield amplitude is increased threefold for the negative Gaussian chirped laser pulse in the magnetized plasma. In our simulation, electrons with initial energy about 0.3 MeV with initial energy sp...
