Abstract

We report on progress in the development of a single-shot diagnostic for measuring near-resonant laser-driven wakefields. The development entails the following critical steps: 1. Increase in laser pulse energy 2. development and characterization of a differentially pumped gas cell 3. development of a single-shot diagnostic with low phase noise 4. analysis of laser/plasma parameter space for maximizing the measured phase shift. As a result of this development we expect to be have detection sensitivity of 50 - 100 mrad and we expect to be able produce and measure wakefields with dne/ne{approx}1 and phase shifts of several hundred mrad.

Single-Shot Multi-keV X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy Using an Ultrashort Laser-Wakefield Accelerator Source

Journal Article Kettle, B.; Gerstmayr, E.; Streeter, M.; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report that single-shot absorption measurements have been performed using the multi-keV x rays generated by a laser-wakefield accelerator. A 200 TW laser was used to drive a laser-wakefield accelerator in a mode which produced broadband electron beams with a maximum energy above 1 GeVand a broad divergence of ≈15 mrad FWHM. Betatron oscillations of these electrons generated 1.2 ± 0.2 x 10⁶ photons/eV in the 5 keV region, with a signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 300:1. This was sufficient to allow high-resolution x-ray absorption near-edge structure measurements at the K edge of a titanium sample in a single shot. Wemore »« less

Single-shot electro-optic sampling of coherent transition radiation at the A0 Photoinjector

Conference Maxwell, T; Ruan, J; Piot, P; ...

Future collider applications and present high-gradient laser plasma wakefield accelerators operating with picosecond bunch durations place a higher demand on the time resolution of bunch distribution diagnostics. This demand has led to significant advancements in the field of electro-optic sampling over the past ten years. These methods allow the probing of diagnostic light such as coherent transition radiation or the bunch wakefields with sub-picosecond time resolution. Potential applications in shot-to-shot, non-interceptive diagnostics continue to be pursued for live beam monitoring of collider and pump-probe experiments. Related to our developing work with electro-optic imaging, we present results on single-shot electro-optic samplingmore »« less

Single-Shot Diagnostics of Microbunched Electrons in Laser-Driven Plasma Accelerators and Free-Electron Lasers

Conference Lumpkin, A.; Rule, D.

aThe need for single-shot diagnostics of the periodic longitudinal density modulation of relativistic electrons at the resonant wavelength (microbunching) in a free-electron laser (FEL) or at broadband visible wavelengths as in a laser-driven plasma accelerator (LPA) has been reaffirmed. In the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) FEL case, statistical fluctuations in the microbunching occur in the startup- from-noise process. In the LPA, the plasma itself is chaotic and varies shot to shot. Fortunately, we have shown that coherent optical transition radiation (COTR) techniques, can assess beam size, divergence, spectral evolution, and z-dependent gain (100,000) of microbunched electrons in a past SASEmore »« less

X-Ray Emission Spectrometer Design with Single-Shot Pump-Probe and Resonant Excitation Capabilities

Technical Report Spoth, Katherine

Core-level spectroscopy in the soft X-ray regime is a powerful tool for the study of chemical bonding processes. The ultrafast, ultrabright X-ray pulses generated by the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) allow these reactions to be studied in greater detail than ever before. In this study, we investigated a conceptual design of a spectrometer for the LCLS with imaging in the non-dispersive direction. This would allow single-shot collection of X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) measurements with varying laser pump X-ray probe delay or a variation of incoming X-ray energy over the illuminated area of the sample. Ray-tracing simulations were used tomore »« less

Single-shot transverse wakefield mapping with a hollow electron beam

Journal Article Halavanau, A.; Piot, P.; Baturin, S. - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

Beam-driven wakefield accelerators are foreseen to enable compact accelerator-based light sources and play a critical role in future linear-collider concepts. This class of wakefield acceleration has been extensively studied over the last four decades with a focus on demonstrating its ability to support high-accelerating gradient and, most recently, enhanced transformer ratios. Yet, the associated detrimental transverse wakefields have not been examined in as many details due to the limited diagnostics available. In this paper, we introduce a beam-based single-shot transverse-wakefield measurement technique. The approach employs a witness “hollow” electron beam to probe the wakefields generated by a drive bunch. Wemore »« less
