Nonequilibrium electron rings for synchrotron radiation production.
Electron storage rings used for the production of synchrotron radiation (SR) have an output photon brightness that is limited by the equilibrium beam emittance. By using interleaved injection and ejection of bunches from a source with repetition rate greater than 1 kHz, we show that it is practicable to overcome this limit in rings of energy ∼1 GeV. Sufficiently short kicker pulse lengths enab...
متن کاملLaser based synchrotron radiation
Beams of x rays in the kiloelectronvolt energy range have been produced from laser-matter interaction. Here, energetic electrons are accelerated by a laser wakefield, and experience betatron oscillations in an ion channel formed in the wake of the intense femtosecond laser pulse. Experiments using a 50 TW laser (30 fs duration) are described, as well as comparisons with numerical simulations. T...
متن کاملCherenkov radiation and pair production by particles traversing laser beams
It is shown that Cherenkov radiation can be observed at TESLA in electron collisions with optical laser pulses. The prospects for it to be observed at SLC, LEP, LHC and RHIC are discussed. The conclusions are compared with results for pair production. The problem of very high energy charged particles collisions with laser beams is widely discussed now, mostly in connection with the e + e −-pair...
متن کاملEffects of target pre-heating and expansion on terahertz radiation production from intense laser-solid interactions
The first experimental measurements of intense (∼7 × 1019 W cm−2) laser-driven terahertz (THz) radiation from a solid target which is preheated by an intense pulse of laser-accelerated protons is reported. The total energy of the THz radiation is found to decrease by approximately a factor of 2 compared to a cold target reference. This is attributed to an increase in the scale length of the pre...
متن کاملChirality Emergence in Thin Solid Films of Amino Acids by Polarized Light from Synchrotron Radiation and Free Electron Laser
One of the most attractive hypothesis for the origin of homochirality in terrestrial bioorganic compounds is that a kind of "chiral impulse" as an asymmetric excitation source induced asymmetric reactions on the surfaces of such materials such as meteorites or interstellar dusts prior to the existence of terrestrial life (Cosmic Scenario). To experimentally introduce chiral structure into racem...
