Acceleration and evolution of a hollow electron beam in wakefields driven by a Laguerre-Gaussian laser pulse

Journal Article Zhang, Guo-Bo ; College of Science, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073 ; Chen, Min ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We show that a ring-shaped hollow electron beam can be injected and accelerated by using a Laguerre-Gaussian laser pulse and ionization-induced injection in a laser wakefield accelerator. The acceleration and evolution of such a hollow, relativistic electron beam are investigated through three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. We find that both the ring size and the beam thickness oscillate during the acceleration. The beam azimuthal shape is angularly dependent and evolves during the acceleration. The beam ellipticity changes resulting from the electron angular momenta obtained from the drive laser pulse and the focusing forces from the wakefield. The dependence of beam ring radiusmore »« less

Acceleration of on-axis and ring-shaped electron beams in wakefields driven by Laguerre-Gaussian pulses

Journal Article Zhang, Guo-Bo ; Key Laboratory for Laser Plasmas ; Chen, Min ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The acceleration of electron beams with multiple transverse structures in wakefields driven by Laguerre-Gaussian pulses has been studied through three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulations. Under different laser-plasma conditions, the wakefield shows different transverse structures. In general cases, the wakefield shows a donut-like structure and it accelerates the ring-shaped hollow electron beam. When a lower plasma density or a smaller laser spot size is used, besides the donut-like wakefield, a central bell-like wakefield can also be excited. The wake sets in the center of the donut-like wake. In this case, both a central on-axis electron beam and a ring-shaped electron beam aremore »« less

Wakefield driven by Gaussian (1,0) mode laser pulse and laser-plasma electron acceleration

Journal Article Che, H O ; Kong, Q ; Mao, Q Q ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

An ultraintense Gaussian (1,0) mode pulsed laser applied to laser-plasma electron acceleration is investigated based on 2.5-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation (PIC). It has been found that Gaussian (1,0) mode laser pulse may blow out plasma electrons and form two symmetrical electron cavities with an electron wall between them. This electron wall separates two twisting bunches of transverse injected electrons and lets each of them be accelerated in one cavity, respectively. At the front of the wall, a bunch of reflux electrons with a magnetic field contributes to the electron self-bunching effect. This mechanism may generate two symmetrical, high-density, and monoenergetic electronmore »« less

A computational investigation of the impact of aberrated Gaussian laser pulses on electron beam properties in laser-wakefield acceleration experiments

Journal Article Cummings, P ; Thomas, A G. R. - Physics of Plasmas

Critical to the performance of any future accelerator based on the laser wakefield accelerator is the response of the system to perturbations from ideal. In this paper, we use particle-in-cell simulation using a modified version of the OSIRIS 2.0 framework to demonstrate that comatic optical aberrations in a nominally Gaussian laser pulse are self-corrected by the plasma response, leading to stable propagation and therefore little variation in peak energy, energy spread, or peak current of the accelerated bunch, even for serious aberrations. However, the comatic aberration does lead to enhanced transverse beam emittance in the direction of the coma. Althoughmore »« less

Driving laser pulse evolution in a hollow channel laser wakefield accelerator

Journal Article Volfbeyn, P ; Lee, P B ; Wurtele, J ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

An analytic and numerical study of the coupling between a high-intensity laser pulse and a plasma wake is presented, in the context of laser wakefield acceleration in a hollow channel. Laser wavelength reddening and pulse length shortening are qualitatively described using simple scaling laws. One-dimensional self-consistent equations are derived and numerically solved to provide a more detailed description of the laser pulse evolution for the case of propagation in a uniform plasma. These equations are extended to treat the case of laser pulse propagation in a hollow channel. The coupling between the plasma and the laser pulse is calculated usingmore »« less
