Laser-Plasma Accelerator Beams in Light Sources: Femtosecond High-Brightness Radiation through Chirped Pulse Injection
Sergey A. Antipov, Philipp Burghart, Ilya Agapov +2
We propose a chirped-pulse injection scheme into a hard x-ray low-emittance synchrotron light source such as PETRA IV from a laser-plasma electron injector with active energy compr…
Gridless Quasistatic Model for Efficient Simulation of Plasma-based Accelerators
Ãngel Ferran Pousa, Wilbert M. den Hertog, Severin Diederichs +4
The accurate modeling of plasma-based accelerators relies on costly numerical simulations due to the complexity of laser-plasma and beam-plasma interactions. Several strategies can…
Efficient Acceleration of High-Quality GeV-Electron Bunches in a Hybrid Laser- and Beam-Driven Plasma Wakefield Accelerator
F. M. Foerster, M. Ayache, Z. Bi +24
Plasma-based accelerators are compact and provide high gradients, yet their practical use has been limited by energy gain, stability, beam quality, and energy transfer efficiency.…
Self-Adaptive Stabilization and Quality Boost for Electron Beams from All-Optical Plasma Wakefield Accelerators
D. Campbell, T. Heinemann, A. Dickson +14
Shot-to-shot fluctuations in electron beams from laser wakefield accelerators present a significant challenge for applications. Here, we show that instead of using such fluctuating…
