Generation of stable ultra-relativistic attosecond electron bunches via the laser wakefield acceleration mechanism
M. J. H. Luttikhof, A. G. Khachatryan, F. A. van Goor +1
In recent experiments ultra-relativistic femtosecond electron bunches were generated by a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA) in different regimes. Here we predict that even attosec…
Electron bunch injection at an angle into a laser wakefield
M. J. H. Luttikhof, A. G. Khachatryan, F. A. van Goor +1
External injection of electron bunches longer than the plasma wavelength in a laser wakefield accelerator can lead to the generation of femtosecond ultrarelativistic bunches with a…
Electromagnetic radiation from a laser wakefield accelerator
A. G. Khachatryan, F. A. van Goor, K. -J. Boller
Coherent and incoherent electromagnetic radiation emitted from a laser wakefield accelerator is calculated based on Lienard-Wiechert potentials. It is found that at wavelengths lon…
Dynamics of Femtosecond Electron Bunches
A. G. Khachatryan, A. Irman, F. A. van Goor +1
In the laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) a short intense laser pulse, with a duration of the order of a plasma wave period, excites an unusually strong plasma wake wave (laser wak…
Ponderomotive scattering of an electron-bunch before injection into a laser wakefield
A. G. Khachatryan, M. J. H. Luttikhof, F. A. van Goor +1
For the purpose of laser wakefield acceleration, it turned out that also the injection of electron bunches longer than a plasma wavelength can generate accelerated femtosecond bunc…
Trapping, Compression and Acceleration of an Electron Bunch in the Nonlinear Laser Wakefield
Arsen G. Khachatryan
A scheme of laser wakefield acceleration, when a relatively rare and long bunch of non-relativistic or weakly-relativistic electrons is initially in front of the laser pulse, is su…
