Production of micro-bunches by a laser wakefield in a plasma and its application: X-ray generation
- National Laboratory for High Energy Physics, Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan)
Laser wakefields driven by the ponderomotive force of a laser in a plasma accelerate charged particles. The particles are bunched during the course of acceleration. The bunch spacing is equal to the plasma wavelength, which can be less than 10 {mu}m in a plasma with density higher than 10{sup 19} cm{sup {minus}3}. The energy and phase spectra of the accelerated particles are presented. X-ray generation based on a plasma undulator is introduced as an example of applications of the laser wakefield. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
