Radial Density Profile and Stability of Capillary Discharge Plasma Waveguides of Lengths up to 40 Centimeters
M. Turner, A. J. Gonsalves, S. S. Bulvanov +10
We measured the parameter reproducibility and radial electron density profile of capillary discharge waveguides with diameters of 650 um to 2 mm and lengths of 9 to 40 cm. To our k…
Laser beam coupling with capillary discharge plasma for laser wakefield acceleration applications
Gennadiy Bagdasarov, Pavel Sasorov, Vladimir Gasilov +13
One of the most robust methods, demonstrated up to date, of accelerating electron beams by laser-plasma sources is the utilization of plasma channels generated by the capillary dis…
Ultra-low emittance beam generation using two-color ionization injection in a CO2 laser-driven plasma accelerator
C. B. Schroeder, C. Benedetti, S. S. Bulanov +6
Ultra-low emittance (tens of nm) beams can be generated in a plasma accelerator using ionization injection of electrons into a wakefield. An all-optical method of beam generation u…
Low transverse emittance electron bunches from two-color laser-ionization injection
Lu-Le Yu, Eric Esarey, Jean-Luc Vay +7
A method is proposed to generate low emittance electron bunches from two color laser pulses in a laser-plasma accelerator. A two-region gas structure is used, containing a short re…
Control of focusing forces and emittances in plasma-based accelerators using near-hollow plasma channels
Carl B. Schroeder, Eric Esarey, Carlo Benedetti +1
A near-hollow plasma channel, where the plasma density in the channel is much less than the plasma density in the walls, is proposed to provide independent control over the focusin…
Laser-heater assisted plasma channel formation in capillary discharge waveguides
N. A. Bobrova, P. V. Sasorov, C. Benedetti +5
A method of creating plasma channels with controllable depth and transverse profile for the guiding of short, high power laser pulses for efficient electron acceleration is propose…
Growth and phase velocity of self-modulated beam-driven plasma waves
C. B. Schroeder, C. Benedetti, E. Esarey +2
A long, relativistic charged particle beam propagating in a plasma is subject to the self-modulation instability. This instability is analyzed and the growth rate is calculated, in…
