Abstract

Relativistic electron scattering by a high intensity linearly polarized Gaussian (TEM{sub 00} mode) laser beam is studied in detail using three-dimensional numerical simulations. It is observed that the longitudinal components of the electromagnetic field in a tight focus effectively suppress transverse electron scattering in the relativistic laser ponderomotive acceleration scheme. The simulations show that the relativistic ponderomotive acceleration can produce high quality electron bunches characterized by an extremely short bunch length of subfemtosecond, energy spread less than 1%, and normalized transverse emittance less than 10{pi} mm mrad.

The Next Generation Photoinjector

Technical Report Palmer, Dennis Thomas ; /Stanford U., Appl. Phys. Dept.

This dissertation will elucidate the design, construction, theory, and operation of the Next Generation Photoinjector (NGP). This photoinjector is comprised of the BNL/SLAC/UCLA 1.6 cell symmetrized S-band photocathode radio frequency (rf) electron gun and a single emittance-compensation solenoidal magnet. This photoinjector is a prototype for the Linear Coherent Light Source X-ray Free Electron Laser operating in the 1.5 {angstrom} range. Simulations indicate that this photoinjector is capable of producing a 1nC electron bunch with transverse normalized emittance less than 1 {pi} mm mrad were the cathode is illuminated with a 10 psec longitudinal flat top pulse. Using a Gaussian longitudinalmore »« less

Emittance Measurements from a Laser Driven Electron Injector

Technical Report Reis, David A

The Gun Test Facility (GTF) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center was constructed to develop an appropriate electron beam suitable for driving a short wavelength free electron laser (FEL) such as the proposed Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). For operation at a wavelength of 1.5 {angstrom}, the LCLS requires an electron injector that can produce an electron beam with approximately 1 {pi} mm-mrad normalized rms emittance with at least 1 nC of charge in a 10 ps or shorter bunch. The GTF consists of a photocathode rf gun, emittance-compensation solenoid, 3 m linear accelerator (linac), drive laser, and diagnostics tomore »« less

Generation of ultrashort electron bunches by colliding laser pulses

Journal Article Schroeder, C B ; Lee, P B ; Wurtele, J S ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

A proposed laser-plasma based relativistic electron source [E. Esarey et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2682 (1997)] using laser triggered injection of electrons is investigated. The source generates ultrashort electron bunches by dephasing and trapping background plasma electrons undergoing fluid oscillations in an excited plasma wake. The plasma electrons are dephased by colliding two counter-propagating laser pulses which generate a slow phase velocity beat wave. Laser pulse intensity thresholds for trapping and the optimal wake phase for injection are calculated. Numerical simulations of test particles, with prescribed plasma and laser fields, are used to verify analytic predictions and to studymore »« less
