Two-Pulse Ionization Injection into Quasi-Linear Laser Wakefields
arXiv:1306.6893 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.155004
Abstract
We describe a scheme for controlling electron injection into the quasi-linear wakefield driven by a guided drive pulse via ionization of a dopant species by a collinear injection laser pulse with a short Rayleigh range. The scheme is analyzed by particle in cell simulations which show controlled injection and acceleration of electrons to an energy of 370 MeV, a relative energy spread of 2%, and a normalized transverse emittance of 3.0 μm.
