PBPL Publications: 2007-00008 PUBLICATIONS OBSERVATIONS OF UNDERDENSE PLASMA LENS FOCUSING OF RELATIVISTIC ELECTRON BEAMS
Focusing of a 15 MeV, 19 nC electron bunch by an underdense plasma lens operated just beyond the threshold of the underdense condition has been demonstrated in experiments at the Fermilab NICADD Photoinjector Laboratory (FNPL). The strong 1.9 cm focal-length plasmalens focused both transverse directions simultaneously and reduced the minimum area of the beam spot by a factor of 23. Analysis of ...
متن کاملPlasma Focusing and Diagnosis of High Energy Particle Beams*
Various novel concepts of focusing and diagnosis of high energy charged particle beams, based on the interaction between the relativistic particle beam and the-plasma, are reviewed. This includes overdense and underdense thin plasma lenses, an (underdense) adiabatic plasma lens, and two beam size monitor concepts. In addition, we introduce another mechanism for measuring flat beams based on the...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of Electron Beam Focusing through Plasma Lenses
A comprehensive experimental study of focusing of relativistic electron beams with overdense and underdense plasma lenses is being conducted at the Beam Test Facility at LBNL [1]. Short (15ps rms) electron bunches, from the 50 MeV LBNL Advanced Light Source injector are transported through laser produced plasmas. The electron beam spot size and divergence at the plasma lens is adjusted using qu...
متن کاملResults from the Ucla/fnpl Underdense Plasma Lens Experiment
A gaussian underdense plasma lens with peak density 5 x 1012 cm−3 and a full width half maximum (FWHM) length of 2.2 cm has been used to focus a relativistic electron beam. This plasma lens is equivalent in strength to a quadrupole magnet with a 150 T/m field gradient. The lens focused a 15 MeV, 16 nC electron beam with initial dimensions σx,y ≈ 650 μm and σz ≈ 6.5 mm onto an optical transition...

We have considered the self-focusing of a Gaussian laser pulse in unmagnetized plasma. High-intensity electromagnetic fields cause the variation of electron density in plasma. These changes in the special conditions cause the acceleration of electrons to the higher energy and velocities. Thus the equation of plasma density evolution was obtained considering the electrons ponderomotive force. T...
