THz RADIATION GENERATION IN A MULTIMODE WAKEFIELD STRUCTURE*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of methods for producing sub-picosecond beam microbunching have been developed in recent years. A train of these bunches is capable of generating THz radiation via multiple mechanisms like transition, Cherenkov and undulator radiation. We utilize a bunch train with tunable spacing to selectively excite high order TM0,n modes in a multimode structure. In this paper we present experimental results obtained at the Accelerator Test Facility of Brookhaven National Laboratory.

THz RADIATION GENERATION IN MULTIMODE WAKEFIELD STRUCTURES*
A number of methods for producing sub-picosecond electron bunches have been demonstrated in recent years. A train of these bunches is capable of generating THz radiation via multiple mechanisms like transition, Cherenkov and undulator radiation. We propose to use a bunch train like this to selectively excite a high order mode in a dielectric wakefield structure. This allows us to use wakefield ...

Experimental work is planned to study the performance of a beam-driven cylindrical dielectric wakefield accelerating structure as a source of THz coherent Cerenkov radiation (CCR). For an appropriate choice of dielectric tube geometry and driving electron bunch parameters, the device operates in a single-mode regime, producing radiation in the THz range. This source can potentially produce high...
متن کاملMeasurements of Terahertz Generation in a Metallic, Corrugated Beam Pipe
A method for producing narrow-band THz radiation proposes passing an ultra-relativistic beam through a metallic pipe with small periodic corrugations. We present results of a measurement of such an arrangement at Brookhaven’s Accelerator Test Facility (ATF). Our pipe was copper and was 5 cm long; the aperture was cylindrically symmetric, with a 1 mm (radius) bore and a corrugation depth (peak-t...
متن کاملTerahertz radiation driven by two-color laser pulses at near-relativistic intensities: Competition between photoionization and wakefield effects
We numerically investigate terahertz (THz) pulse generation by linearly-polarized, two-color femtosecond laser pulses in highly-ionized argon. Major processes consist of tunneling photoionization and ponderomotive forces associated with transverse and longitudinal field excitations. By means of two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we reveal the importance of photocurrent mechanis...
