Scaling Laws for the Cyclotron Resonance Laser Accelerator
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonlinear interaction of a tenuous continuous electron beam with a traveling electromagnetic wave in the cyclotron resonance laser accelerator is analyzed using a single-particle model and multi-particle simulation. It is found that the maximum beam energy gain and acceleration distance obey certain scaling laws for optimized systems, and that the maximum energy gain is limited primarily by the degree of wave dispersion and is almost independent of the wave amplitude.

PFC / JA - 92 - 17 Theory of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Laser
The cyclotron resonance laser (CRL) accelerator is a novel concept of accelerating continuous charged-particle beams to moderately or highly relativistic energies. This paper discusses prospects and limitations of this concept. In particular, the nonlinear coupling of an intense traveling electromagnetic wave with an electron beam in a guide magnetic field is studied, and the effects of wave di...
متن کاملScaling Laws for Laser Wakefield Accelerators
Scaling laws are derived as a function of laser wavelength for various quantities of interest for a single stage of a channel-guided laser wakefield accelerator. Comparisons are made for drive laser pulses of equal energies. Scalings that favor short or long wavelengths depend on the quantity that is to be optimized. For example, holding the number of electrons per bunch constant favors shorter...
متن کاملElectron cyclotron resonance ion sources – physics, technology and future challenges
The performance of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS), producing high charge state ions from a great variety of elements, has improved dramatically over the past decades, thus enabling significant advances in accelerator-based nuclear physics. The orderof-magnitude performance leaps of ECR ion sources, e.g. from 15 μA of extracted O in 1974 [1] to 4700 μA in 2016 [2], result from ...
متن کاملLaser-driven Cyclotron Autoresonance Accelerator*
Theory is developed for the cyclotron autoresonance acceleration of electrons in a gently-focused Gaussian laser beam and a gently tapered axial magnetic field. Numerical simulation shows, for example, acceleration from 50 MeV to 178 MeV over a distance of 148 cm, using a 10.6 μm CO2 laser with a minimum spot size of 0.1 cm.

A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) developed in our laboratory at Isfahan University of Technology is described here. The TOF-MS instrument uses laser as the ionization source which provides an opportunity to investigate the ions formed in laser ablation or desorption. The TOF-MS has an ionization chamber containing an accelerator and an ion lens to focus the ions into a one meter line...
