Plasma wakefield acceleration in self-ionized gas or plasmas.

چکیده
Tunnel ionizing neutral gas with the self-field of a charged particle beam is explored as a possible way of creating plasma sources for a plasma wakefield accelerator [Bruhwiler et al., Phys. Plasmas (to be published)]. The optimal gas density for maximizing the plasma wakefield without preionized plasma is studied using the PIC simulation code OSIRIS [R. Hemker et al., in Proceeding of the Fifth IEEE Particle Accelerator Conference (IEEE, 1999), pp. 3672-3674]. To obtain wakefields comparable to the optimal preionized case, the gas density needs to be seven times higher than the plasma density in a typical preionized case. A physical explanation is given.

Laser driven electron acceleration in vacuum, gases, and plasmas*
In this paper we discuss some of the important issues pertaining to laser acceleration in vacuum, neutral gases, and plasmas. The limitations of laser vacuum acceleration as they relate to electron slippage, laser diffraction, material damage, and electron aperture effects, are discussed. An inverse Cherenkov laser acceleration configuration is presented in which a laser beam is self-guided in ...

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...

Applying various stimuli to excite large-amplitude electrostatic structure within plasmas is a basic idea of plasma-based acceleration. However, because these stimuli are usually magnetized, whether or not their wakes within plasmas are purely electrostatic should be cautiously treated. By strict theory on self-consistent fields of charged particles, we make detailed investigations on the wakes...
