A plasma photocathode for spin-polarized electron beams via state-selected hydrogen halide photofragments
Lars Reichwein, Thomas C. Wilson, Dimitris Sofikitis +6
Spin-polarized electron beams are essential tools for probing fundamental symmetries and for the search beyond the Standard Model. While plasma-based accelerators are a promising p…
Radiative depolarization of high-energy electron beams in wakefield accelerators
Oliver Mathiak, Lars Reichwein, Alexander Pukhov +2
The preservation of witness beam polarization in wakefield accelerators will be crucial for future collider applications. While extensive theoretical studies on the injection and i…
Pinching injection in wakefields for spin-polarized electron beams
Lars Reichwein, Dimitris Sofikitis, Oliver Mathiak +5
Pinching of the driver beam in plasma wakefield acceleration is generally considered an unwanted effect that needs to be mitigated. Here, we propose that this effect can be utilize…
Plasma acceleration of polarized particle beams
Lars Reichwein, Zheng Gong, Chuan Zheng +3
Spin-polarized particle beams are of interest for applications like deep-inelastic scattering, e.g. to gain further understanding of the proton's nuclear structure. With the advent…
