Spectrum bandwidth narrowing of Thomson scattering X-rays with energy chirped electron beams from laser wakefield acceleration

Journal Article Xu, Tong ; Chen, Min ; Li, Fei-Yu ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We study incoherent Thomson scattering between an ultrashort laser pulse and an electron beam accelerated from a laser wakefield. The energy chirp effects of the accelerated electron beam on the final radiation spectrum bandwidth are investigated. It is found that the scattered X-ray radiation has the minimum spectrum width and highest intensity as electrons are accelerated up to around the dephasing point. Furthermore, it is proposed that the electron acceleration process inside the wakefield can be studied by use of 90° Thomson scattering. The dephasing position and beam energy chirp can be deduced from the intensity and bandwidth of themore » scattered radiation.« less

Reply to “Comment on ‘Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping’”

Journal Article Rykovanov, S. G. ; Geddes, C. G. R. ; Schroeder, C. B. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

We reply to Terzic and Krafft's forgoing Comment [Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams, Comment on "Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping" 19 (2016)]. We disagree with the conclusion of the Comment regarding the novelty of solutions and the citations presented in our paper.

Comment on “Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping”

Journal Article Terzić, Balša ; Krafft, Geoffrey A. - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

Rykovanov, Geddes, Schroeder, Esarey and Leemans [Phys. Rev. Accel. Beams 19, 030701 (2016); hereafter RGSEL] have recently reported on the analytic derivation for the laser pulse frequency modulation (chirping) which controls spectrum broadening for high laser pulse intensities. We demonstrate here that their results are the same as the exact solutions reported in Terzic, Deitrick, Hofler and Krafft [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 074801 (2014); hereafter TDHK]. While the two papers deal with circularly and linearly polarized laser pulses, respectively, the difference in expressions for the two is just the usual factor of 1/2 present from going from circular to linearmore »« less

Controlling the spectral shape of nonlinear Thomson scattering with proper laser chirping

Journal Article Rykovanov, S. G. ; Geddes, C. G. R. ; Schroeder, C. B. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

Effects of nonlinearity in Thomson scattering of a high intensity laser pulse from electrons are analyzed. Analytic expressions for laser pulse shaping in frequency (chirping) are obtained which control spectrum broadening for high laser pulse intensities. These analytic solutions allow prediction of the spectral form and required laser parameters to avoid broadening. Results of analytical and numerical calculations agree well. The control over the scattered radiation bandwidth allows narrow bandwidth sources to be produced using high scattering intensities, which in turn greatly improves scattering yield for future x- and gamma-ray sources.

Thomson scattering in high-intensity chirped laser pulses

Journal Article Holkundkar, Amol R., E-mail: amol.holkundkar@pilani.bits-pilani.ac.in ; Harvey, Chris ; Marklund, Mattias - Physics of Plasmas

We consider the Thomson scattering of an electron in an ultra-intense laser pulse. It is well known that at high laser intensities, the frequency and brilliance of the emitted radiation will be greatly reduced due to the electron losing energy before it reaches the peak field. In this work, we investigate the use of a small frequency chirp in the laser pulse in order to mitigate this effect of radiation reaction. It is found that the introduction of a negative chirp means the electron enters a high frequency region of the field while it still has a large proportion ofmore »« less
