Extremely Dense Gamma-Ray Pulses in Electron Beam-Multifoil Collisions
Archana Sampath, Xavier Davoine, Sébastien Corde +26
Sources of high-energy photons have important applications in almost all areas of research. However, the photon flux and intensity of existing sources is strongly limited for photo…
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…
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…
A Second-Order Symplectic Integrator for Guiding-Center Equations
John R. Cary
This paper had no abstract originally. A second-order symplectic integration algorithm for guiding center motion is presented. The algorithm is based on the Poincaré (mid-point) ge…
