OPTICAL BUNCHING OF RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS FOR INJECTION INTO A GeV PLASMA BEATWAVE ACCELERATOR
A proposed GeV plasma beatwave accelerator (PBWA) requires a high power 1 pm laser running on two frequencies. The vacuum interaction between such a laser and a relativistic electron beam is one mechanism whereby the electrons can be bunched such that when injected into the PBWA they occupy only small regions of phase situated at the peaks of the accelerating field. This is exactly what is requ...
متن کاملRelativistic Bi-Stability in a Plasma Beatwave Accelerator
Beatwave excitation of plasma waves is analyzed in the regime where relativistic corrections to the plasma frequency are important. It is shown that a long beatwave pulse can excite strong plasma waves in its wake even when the beatwave frequency is detuned from the electron plasma frequency. The wake is caused by the dynamic bi-stability of the nonlinear plasma wave if the beatwave amplitude e...
متن کاملIonization Injection and Acceleration of Electrons in a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator at FACET
Localized injection of electrons within a relativistic plasma wake can potentially produce an ultrashort, monoenergetic electron bunch. Recent experiments at the FACET facility explored the injection of helium electrons at the helium-lithium interface of a lithium heat pipe oven and the subsequent acceleration in the beam-produced plasma wake. Electrons accelerated to over 10 GeV in 30 cm of pl...
متن کاملBunched Beam Injection in a Plasma Accelerator
An experiment on phase-locked injection of ~ 100 fs electron bunches in a plasma beat wave accelerator is presented. We consider using an IFEL microbunching technique to produce ultrashort electron bunches prebunched at the exact wavelength of the plasma wave 340 Jim (~lTHz). It is proposed to generate 100 MW of 1 THz radiation by difference frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal, mixing t...
متن کاملColliding Pulse Injection Control in a Laser-Plasma Accelerator
Control of injection into a high gradient laser-plasma accelerator is presented using the beat between two ’colliding’ laser pulses to kick electrons into the plasma wake accelerating phase. Stable intersection and performance over hours of operation were obtained using active pointing control. Dependence of injector performance on laser and plasma parameters were characterized in coordination ...
