Free electron laser seeded by betatron radiation
A. Ghigo, M. Galletti, V. Shpakov +2
In this paper the use of betatron radiation as a seed for the Free Electron Laser (FEL) is presented. The scheme shown can be adopted from all FEL driven by plasma accelerated elec…
First emittance measurement of the beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerated electron beam
V. Shpakov, M. P. Anania, M. Behtouei +26
Next-generation plasma-based accelerators can push electron beams to GeV energies within centimetre distances. The plasma, excited by a driver pulse, is indeed able to sustain huge…
Accurate spectra for high energy ions by advanced time-of-flight diamond-detector schemes in experiments with high energy and intensity lasers
M. Salvadori, F. Consoli, C. Verona +15
Time-Of-Flight (TOF) methods are very effective to detect particles accelerated in laser-plasma interactions, but they shows significant limitations when used in experiments with h…
Evolution of the electric fields induced in high intensity laser-matter interactions
F. G. Bisesto, M. P. Anania, M. Botton +9
Multi MeV protons \cite{snavely2000intense} and heavier ions are emitted by thin foils irradiated by high-intensity lasers, due to the huge accelerating fields, up to several terae…
Recent studies on single-shot diagnostics for plasma accelerators at SPARC_LAB
F. G. Bisesto, M. P. Anania, M. Botton +11
Plasma wakefield acceleration is the most promising acceleration technique for compact and cheap accelerators, thanks to the high accelerating gradients achievable. Nevertheless, t…
