Observation of beam-beam deflections at the interaction point of the SLAC Linear Collider.
We report the first direct observation of the electromagnetic deflection of high --energy electron and positron beams as they pass each other with small impact _. -parameters. ‘Measurements of the deflection amplitude are found in agreement with theoretical expectations. This phenomenon, which is sensitive both to the relative position of the two beams and to their transverse sizes, has been us...
متن کاملObservation of plasma focusing of a 28.5 GeV positron beam.
The observation of plasma focusing of a 28.5 GeV positron beam is reported. The plasma was formed by ionizing a nitrogen jet only 3 mm thick. Simultaneous focusing in both transverse dimensions was observed with effective focusing strengths of order tesla per micron. The minimum area of the beam spot was reduced by a factor of 2.0+/-0.3 by the plasma. The longitudinal beam envelope was measured...
متن کاملObservation of beam loading in a laser-plasma accelerator.
Beam loading is the phenomenon which limits the charge and the beam quality in plasma based accelerators. An experimental study conducted with a laser-plasma accelerator is presented. Beam loading manifests itself through the decrease of the beam energy, the reduction of dark current, and the increase of the energy spread for large beam charge. 3D PIC simulations are compared to the experimenta...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of Electron Beam Focusing through Plasma Lenses
A comprehensive experimental study of focusing of relativistic electron beams with overdense and underdense plasma lenses is being conducted at the Beam Test Facility at LBNL [1]. Short (15ps rms) electron bunches, from the 50 MeV LBNL Advanced Light Source injector are transported through laser produced plasmas. The electron beam spot size and divergence at the plasma lens is adjusted using qu...
متن کاملThreshold Criterion for a Space Simulation Beam-Plasma Discharge
We have conducted an experimental and theoretical study of the threshold characteristics of a space simulation beam-plasma discharge with emphasis on density profiles and a density-dependent ignition criterion. The study included various beam-plasma conditions covering beam currents from 8 to 85 ma, beam energies from 0.8 to 2.0 keV, and magnetic fields at 0.9 and 1.5 G. The study included expe...
