A Plasma Klystron for Generating Ulltra-Short Electron Bunches - Plasma Science, IEEE Transactions on
نویسنده
چکیده
A technique for plroducing ultra-short electron bunches (e.g., 5100 fs) from a continuous electron beam using a short plasma wave section and a drift space is explored. The bunches are a fraction of a plasma wavelength long and are spaced by a plasma wavelength, making them of interest for iinjection into plasma accelerators or for driving a klystron-like structure to produce infrared radiation.

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...
متن کاملFemtosecond Electron and X-ray Generation by Laser and Plasma-based Sources
The generation of ultra-short x-rays by Thomson scattering intense laser pulses from electron beams is discussed, including recent experimental results and methods for enhancing the x-ray flux. A high flux of x-rays in a femtosecond pulse requires the generation of femtosecond electron bunches and a head-on Thomson scattering geometry. The generation of ultrashort electron bunches in a plasmaba...
متن کاملTerahertz radiation from laser accelerated electron bunches
Coherent terahertz and millimeter wave radiation from laser accelerated electron bunches has been measured. The bunches were produced by tightly focusing ~spot diameter '6 mm) a high peak power ~up to 10 TW!, ultra-short (>50 fs) laser pulse from a high repetition rate ~10 Hz! laser system ~0.8 mm!, onto a high density (.10 cm) pulsed gas jet of length '1.5 mm. As the electrons exit the plasma,...
متن کاملFirst Experiences with the Pitz Plasma Cell for Electron Beam Self-modulation Studies
The self-modulation of long particle beams in a plasma has recently gained interest in light of the ongoing preparation for the plasma wakefield acceleration experiment of the AWAKE collaboration at CERN. Instrumental to the experiment is the self-modulation of a proton beam to generate bunches short enough for producing high acceleration fields. As electron bunches are easier to handle and the...
متن کاملElectron and photon beams interacting with plasma.
A comparison is made between the interaction of electron bunches and intense laser pulses with plasma. The laser pulse is modelled with photon kinetic theory, i.e. a representation of the electromagnetic field in terms of classical quasi-particles with space and wave number coordinates, which enables a direct comparison with the phase space evolution of the electron bunch. Analytical results ar...
