Self-Adaptive Stabilization and Quality Boost for Electron Beams from All-Optical Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
D. Campbell, T. Heinemann, A. Dickson +14
Shot-to-shot fluctuations in electron beams from laser wakefield accelerators present a significant challenge for applications. Here, we show that instead of using such fluctuating…
Ultra-high-gain water-window X-ray laser driven by plasma photocathode wakefield acceleration
Lily H. A. Berman, David Campbell, Edgar Hartmann +4
X-ray free-electron lasers are large and complex machines, limited by electron beam brightness. Here we show through start-to-end simulations how to realise compact, robust and tun…
Attosecond-Angstrom free-electron-laser towards the cold beam limit
A. F. Habib, G. G. Manahan, P. Scherkl +13
Electron beam quality is paramount for X-ray pulse production in free-electron-lasers (FELs). State-of-the-art linear accelerators (linacs) can deliver multi-GeV electron beams wit…
Report of Snowmass 21 Accelerator Frontier Topical Group 6 on Advanced Accelerators
C. Geddes, M. Hogan, P. Musumeci +1
The Snowmass 2021 Accelerator Frontier topical group \# 6 on Advanced Accelerator Concepts, covers new R\&D concepts for particle acceleration, generation, and focusing. Based on c…
Stable and high quality electron beams from staged laser and plasma wakefield accelerators
F. M. Foerster, A. Döpp, F. Haberstroh +24
We present experimental results on a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) driven by high-current electron beams from a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA). In this staged setup stabl…
Ultrahigh brightness beams from plasma photoguns
A. F. Habib, T. Heinemann, G. G. Manahan +19
Plasma photocathodes open a path towards tunable production of well-defined, compact electron beams with normalized emittance and brightness many orders of magnitude better than st…
All-optical density downramp injection in electron-driven plasma wakefield accelerators
D. Ullmann, P. Scherkl, A. Knetsch +16
Injection of well-defined, high-quality electron populations into plasma waves is a key challenge of plasma wakefield accelerators. Here, we report on the first experimental demons…
Plasma-photonic spatiotemporal synchronization of relativistic electron and laser beams
Paul Scherkl, Alexander Knetsch, Thomas Heinemann +23
Modern particle accelerators and their applications increasingly rely on precisely coordinated interactions of intense charged particle and laser beams. Femtosecond-scale synchroni…
Electron bunch generation from a plasma photocathode
Aihua Deng, Oliver Karger, Thomas Heinemann +25
Plasma waves generated in the wake of intense, relativistic laser or particle beams can accelerate electron bunches to giga-electronvolt (GeV) energies in centimetre-scale distance…
