Multi-GeV Electron Combs from a Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

Chaojie Zhang, Douglas Storey, Alexander Knetsch +16

Plasma accelerators now produce GeV-class electron beams with brightness and stability sufficient to drive free-electron lasers. Beyond this, they possess a unique yet largely unex…

Demonstration of a tandem lens for producing shaped laser-ionized plasmas for plasma wakefield acceleration

R. Ariniello, V. Lee, M. D. Litos

We demonstrate a tandem lens optical setup, comprising two diffractive optics, that focuses a high-power ultrafast laser with a shaped on-axis intensity profile, producing a meter-…

Precision alignment and tolerance of a plasma wakefield accelerator in a laser-ionized plasma source

Valentina Lee, Robert Ariniello, Douglas Storey +9

We present a novel method for aligning a laser ionized plasma source to a pair of ultra-relativistic electron beams that comprise a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). We achieve…
